Acknowledgments

I would like to thank a number of people for their help with this e-Book.  First of all, I would like to thank my colleagues Fiona Carroll, David Hoxley and Katherine Legge for their work in designing the subject Foundations in Biomedical Science (or as we privately called it, Maths by Stealth). I would also like to thank Jodie Young for her work in teaching and coordinating Foundations in Biomedical Science so successfully and for her helpful comments with the manuscript. Our videographers, Monica Ivanyi and Roger Lowe from Indigo Pictures went above and the people who donated their time to record their thoughts regarding the importance of quantitative literacy in their work (Adam Thomas, Vy Hoang, Joel Miller, Robyn Murphy, Yangama Jokwiro and Khizar Iftikhar). I would like to thank the School of Agriculture, Biomedicine and Environment, La Trobe University for their support. Finally, I would like to thank the La Trobe eBureau, and in particular Steven Chang and Sebastian Kainey, for their constant help, support, and ideas.
