Synopsis

Into Statistics is moulded for the physical sciences environment with examples and data sets taken mainly from the Australasian point of view. The text is totally data driven, with the emphasis being on the understanding of the statistical concepts in engineering and the sciences. The data sets are therefore supported in a framework of explanation and worked examples, as well as theorems and proofs. The data themselves cater to a wide audience, i.e. from hardcore mathematics to statistical odds at a roulette table to the heights of the surf at a beach. This book provides a first encounter with probability and statistics, and would ideally be suited for courses in science and engineering with co-requisite calculus.
