This second edition of a pioneering technical work in biomedical informatics provides a very readable treatment of the deep computational ideas at the foundation of the field. Principles of Biomedical Informatics, 2nd Edition is radically reorganized to make it especially useable as a textbook for courses that move beyond the standard introductory material. It includes exercises at the end of each chapter, ideas for student projects, and a number of new topics, such as: .tree structured data, interval trees, and time-oriented medical data and their use . On Line Application Processing (OLAP),

…--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Read this suggestion if my other suggestions aren't good--- (3) So you want a technical book? And she's interested in biology? Buy her a copy of: "The Principles of Biomedical Informatics" By Ira J. Kalet This textbook is incredible. It teaches you some fundamentals of many different flavors of bioinformatics. (Different flavors, because, as the author acknowledges, bioinformatics can…
on “Ask HN: What are some good general technical books for teenagers?” ↗Ira Kalet (RIP, 1944-2015) wrote a book using Lisp for the examples: Principles of Biomedical Informatics, Second Edition, 2013 https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Biomedical-Informatics-Sec...
on “How Lisp-family languages facilitate building bioinformatics applications” ↗…I have is one book per HN user (it might be good to just say why you want the book / how it will be helpful)! I will update each listing below with a username of the receiver. Books as follows: [1] Principles of Biomedical Informatics (Hardcover) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Principles-Biomedical-Informatics-PhD/dp/0123694388/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267352239&sr=1-1 [2] Ruby Programming for Medicine and Biology - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Programming-Medicine-Bartlett-Biomedical-Informatics/dp/0763750905/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267352284&sr=1-1…
on “Tell HN: Giving away programming books to HN members” ↗…e.g. "Common Lisp - The Language" (https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/1555580416) or e.g. "Object-oriented programming in Common LISP" (https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/0201175894)? However, the reference to "Principles of Biomedical Informatics" was useful; looks like a very interesting book; another important CL application book not on the list, is of course "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming" (https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/1558601910).
on “Common Lisp Books” ↗The Principles of Biomedical Informatics looks interesting. Can I have it?
