This book is a completely revised and updated version of this invaluable text which allows science students to extend necessary skills and techniques, with the topics being developed through examples in science which are easily understood by students from a range of disciplines. The introductory approach eases students into the subject, progressing to cover topics relevant to first and second year study and support data analysis for final year projects.The revision of the material in the book has been matched, on the accompanying website, with the extensive use of video, providing worked answers to over 200 questions in the book plus additional tutorial support. The second edition has also improved the learning approach for key topic areas to make it even more accessible and user-friendly, making it a perfect resource for students of all abilities. The expanding website provides a wide range of support material, providing a study environment within which students can develop their independent learning skills, in addition to providing resources that can be used by tutors for integration into other science-based programmes.
Hallmark Features:
* Applied approach providing mathematics and statistics from the first to final years of undergraduate science courses.
* Second edition substantially revised to improve the learning approach to key topics and the organisation of resources for ease of use in teaching.
* Companion website at www.wiley.com/go/currellmaths2 providing:
* Over 200 videos showing step-by-step workings of problems in the book.
* Additional materials including related topic areas, applications, and tutorials on Excel and Minitab.
* Interactive multiple-choice questions for self-testing, with step-by-step video feedback for any wrong answers.
* A developing resource of study plans for useful topics and applications.
* Figures from the book for downloading.
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.
Key features:
- A basic introduction to maths and stats covering the most important topics of relevance to science undergraduates
- Assumes no prior knowledge
- Applied approach relating to math's and stats directly to science examples
- Incorporates the use of Excel and Minitab spreadsheet
- Animated movies detailing a whiteboard and chalk pen working out mathematical and statistical scenarios
- Clear and concise with plenty of worked examples and practice questions
- Example calculations with significant figures that describe the different rules for addition/subtraction and multiplication/division of quantities
