Revolutionizing Quantitative Sciences with Innovative Mathematics and Statistics

By Matthew Betti, Mathematics and Statistics for the Quantitative Sciences is a groundbreaking textbook that challenges the traditional approach to first-year mathematics. Often, calculus is viewed as the fundamental mathematics required for scientists, leading to the misconception that mathematics is an obstacle to be overcome rather than a valuable tool for problem-solving. This misconception pervades education at all levels and is reinforced by stereotypes surrounding mathematics courses.

A New Approach to Mathematics and Statistics Education

This book takes a bold step towards changing this paradigm by providing an engaging and practically useful introduction to everyday mathematics. By focusing on the “why” and “how” behind mathematical concepts, students are equipped with a quantitative intuition that goes beyond mere memorization. This intuition enables readers to tackle fundamental questions in their field of study, such as:

• Why is it necessary to collect census data only every few years?
• How can we determine the optimal dosing of a new pharmaceutical without compromising safety?
• What does it mean to be average, and how can we quantify differences between values?

Features of Mathematics and Statistics for the Quantitative Sciences include:

• Diverse range of applications to make the material as inclusive as possible
• Ideal as a foundational mathematical and statistical textbook for any applied quantitative science course
