My impression after reading four chapters is that the book is fairly easy to read and suitable for self-study. The author provides a mound of examples and problems that are written in the medical and health science context in which they arise. The early chapters have at times been terse in presentation of formulas and computations with reference to later chapters for details. I'll look forward to that deeper material.
