    Hi everyone:),

    I'm writing an essay about the relationship between maths and medicine. Basically I'm going to

    1) Introduce the relationship between maths and medicine.
    2) Use maths logical –informal-method to show the probability that certain number of people that have illness B given they have C illness.
    3) Also I'm going to use Bayes' theorem as another method to prove that my logical method was correct.

    The essay will be 2 pages.

    I searched in Google but I did not found enough of information.

    I’m looking for your help. I will appreciate if you could give me your advice and comments or any resource link, web-sits, articles ...etc.

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you
    Thanks a million

    Maybe you could squeeze a paragraph or two out of clinical trials and the huge role that statictics play in validating and ensuring that a drug does what it is said to do? That the drug won't contribute to adverse reactions, or whether there is a link between adverse reactions and the drug or whether the adverse reactions are due to the combination of taking comcomnant medicines along with the new drug?

    Maybe it's not relevant though...

    Yes most medical treatments are "evidence" based, looking at several clinical trials. All these trials are examined using stats. Without maths no stats: no stats no evidence based treatment.
