Synopsis

Essential Mathematics and Statistics for Science, Second Edition 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, supported by revision material and on-line self-assessments. The book then progresses to cover topics relevant to both first and second year level study as well as supporting data analysis for final year projects. The practical applications of the theory are developed by numerous worked examples and practice questions. 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 all the 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 less confident students, as well as an easily accessible resource for students of all abilities.   

• 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.
• Extensive use of video for all worked answers now provides a very successful style of learning support for students via the website.
• Website also incorporates Excel and Minitab tutorials in addition to self-assessment tests and other resources: www.wiley.com/go/currellmaths2
