Essential Mathematics and Statistics for Science (Essential (John Wiley & Sons))

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.

Graham Currell was a Principal Lecturer in physics at the University of the West of England until his retirement in 2009. During his career, he was involved in the preparation of specialist training programs to support staff in university science laboratories in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Central America. Since 2000, he has concentrated on the development of data analysis modules and self-study materials for students.
