Description
"Jeff Weaver, acclaimed co-author of Conquering Mathematics, serves as a splendid guide and raconteur, holding our hand as he painlessly walks us through such dreaded terrors as standard deviation and the multiplication rule. In his jocular and inimitable fashion, the empowers us to face and conquer our fears. Drawing on vivid, humorous examples from everyday life, he deflates the looming threat of statistics, while giving new meaning to a construct...

Description
A revolutionary new volume, Learning Statistics Through Playing Cards uniquely utilizes a simple deck of playing cards to explain important concepts in statistics. Covering many of the topics included in introductory college statistics courses, author Thomas R. Knapp escorts the student through populations and variables, parameters, percentages, probability and sampling, sampling distribution, estimation, hypothesis testing, and two-by-two tables....

Description
This book helps you to teach yourself statistics and how to work simple equations. You'll learn when, why, and how to effectively perform basic statistical procedures, from setting up tables and computations to analyzing your own data. You'll also discover how to apply statistical concepts to such diverse areas as education, engineering, and the social, biological, and physical sciences. This completely revised edition includes new information on...

Description
From the Publisher: Statistical ideas and methods underlie just about every aspect of modern life. From randomized clinical trials in medical research, to statistical models of risk in banking and hedge fund industries, to the statistical tools used to probe vast astronomical databases, the field of statistics has become centrally important to how we understand our world. But the discipline underlying all these is not the dull statistics of the popular...

Description
Hald carefully traces the history of parametric statistical inference, the development of the corresponding mathematical methods, and some typical applications. Not surprisingly, the ideas, concepts, methods, and results of Laplace, Gauss, and Fisher dominate his account. In particular, Hald analyzes the work and interactions of Laplace and Gauss and describes their contributions to modern theory. Hald also offers a great deal of new material on the...

Michael Strevens shows how simplicity can co-exist with the tangled interconnections within complex systems. By looking at the foundations of statistical reasoning about complex systems (gases, ecosystems and even social systems) he provides an understanding of how simplicity emerges from complexity.

"In this study of the history of statistics, which begins with probability theory in the seventeenth century, Alain Desrosieres shows how the evolution of modern statistics has been inextricably bound up with the knowledge and power of governments. He traces the complex reciprocity between modern governments and the mathematical artifacts that both dictate the duties of the state and measure its successes."--Jacket.

Description
An English translation now joins the Russian and Spanish versions. It is based on the newly revised fifth edition of the German version of the book. The original edition has become very popular as a learning and reference source with easy to follow recipes and cross references for scientists in fields such as engineering, chemistry and the life sciences. Little mathematical background is required of the reader and some important topics, like the logarithm,...
