Summary:

Stop being stymied by statistical data in the medical journals you read. With this new Third Edition of PDQ Statistics in hand, you can sail through the results section of any research article you encounter "Pretty Darned Quick." PDQ Statistics is your supplemental text to the introductory and advanced statistics courses. Without using algebra, calculus, calculations, or jargon, Professors Norman and Streiner decode biostatistics for you. You don't need a technical dictionary. Nor do you have to do any math. All you need to understand the numbers is PDQ Statistics. Warning: This book is wildly irreverent and funny.
