The text is a comprehensive introduction to the models and methods most likely to be encountered and used by students in their careers in engineering, computer science and the natural sciences. It includes examples and exercises that are basic to statistical analyses, yet not exclusive to engineering. The content is 'traditional', and yet includes several new topics such as statistical quality control, methods from exploratory data analysis, probability plotting, and analysis of residuals.
