Synopsis

"Basic Mathematics and Statistics for Science" is a low-level introduction to the essential techniques students need to understand. It assumes little prior knowledge, and adopts a gentle approach that leads through examples in the book and website. No other text provides this range of educational support for science students. The integration between book and website provides study options that would be impossible through a book alone, and allows students to study in ways that suit their own circumstances and preferences. The combination of book and website also provides ready-prepared material for lectures, tutorials and computer practicals. Tutors can use the material to develop a variety of coherent programme using different learning styles. This book develops the mathematics and statistics through examples and questions that reflect the scientific context, and has succeeded in being relevant to a range of undergraduate science programmes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is a completely revised and updated version ofthis invaluable text which allows science students to extendnecessary skills and techniques, with the topics being developedthrough examples in science which are easily understood by studentsfrom a range of disciplines. The introductory approach easesstudents into the subject, progressing to cover topics relevant tofirst and second year study and support data analysis for finalyear projects. The revision of the material in the book has been matched, onthe accompanying website, with the extensive use of video,providing worked answers to over 200 questions in the book plusadditional tutorial support. The second edition has also improvedthe learning approach for key topic areas to make it even moreaccessible and user–friendly, making it a perfect resource forstudents of all abilities. The expanding website provides a widerange of support material, providing a study environment withinwhich students can develop their independent learning skills, inaddition to providing resources that can be used by tutors forintegration into other science–based programmes. Hallmark Features: Applied approach  providing mathematics andstatistics from the first to final years of undergraduate sciencecourses.
