    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

    If you've studied conditional probability at all, you've probably come across this example before, but here it is anyway:

    I don't think you'll get a lot of help here. An essay is something you must write yourself. You could try googling Bayes' theorem and the Sally Clarke case. They would give you plenty of material to write 20 pages, let alone 2.

    Good luck.
