[R] _simple_ introduction to bayesian methods?

[Joshua N Pritikin]

I made it through the first chapter ("Background") of Bayesian Data
Analysis by Gelman, et al.  Conceptually, the Bayesian approach
appeals to me and my curiosity is piqued.  However, the next chapter
was much too terse. The math is daunting.  Where can I find a gentle
introduction?  Or which math book(s) do I need to read first?

On page 27, there is mention of introductory books including Bayesian
Methods by Jeff Gill (2002).  Just for fun, I took a look at this book
to see whether I could get through it.  Chapter 1 was inviting, but
again, the math got too sophisticated starting from chapter 2.
