Description du livre
Basic Mathematics and Statistics for Science is a low-level introduction to the essential techniques students need to understand. Little in the way of prior knowledge is assumed, and the approach adopted is a gentle one, that leads through examples in the book and website. The aim of the authors is to produce a concise introduction, which will appeal to all science students. Spreadsheets are increasingly being used in courses, and this book includes the use of excel and Minitab spreadsheets, with additional data sets available on the web site.
