Introductory Mathematics and Statistics 5e is the most accessible and clear book available in the local market. It aims to develop a genuine understanding of mathematical and statistical methods, rather than simply to provide a set of formal procedures. This book not only presents the general principles, but also supports them by many worked examples. Working with actual numbers is an essential part of the learning process; no matter how clearly principles are emphasised, they will never be fully appreciated unless put into practice.
Description

Number crunching and statistics have never been more relevant or important in our social and business environments.

As information sources and data sets proliferate, statistics provides the analytical tools for effective problem solving and decision making. Introductory Mathematics and Statistics 5e includes current data and many real world examples to effectively engage students.

Worked examples are integrated throughout, with graded end of chapter problems and exercises, and Using Microsoft Excel is introduced to help students solve problems using this popular and accessible software.

John Croucher is Professor of Statistics at Macquarie University. The recipient of numerous teaching and education awards, Professor Croucher also maintains an active research profile with over 100 journal papers published. He is a regular contributor on statistics to the media, and is a professional consultant and speaker on statistics.
