Now, there's an easy-to-use guide that will help you use statistics in your everyday work or study. Experienced educators David Levine and David Stephan help you learn statistics using plain English and with a minimum of mathematics, but with many examples and worked-out problems.
You'll benefit from reading a plain language definition for each statistical concept that is followed by an interpretation section that explains the importance of the concept and how you can apply the concept to solve problems. You'll learn about the common misconceptions about statistics that people make, allowing you to better use statistics in your own work. Reinforcing your learning, you'll review lists of real-life examples or applications of a concept or, for more advanced concepts, read complete solutions to statistical problems that include actual calculator and spreadsheet results and illustrate how you can apply the concept to your own problems.You'll also be able to 'test yourself' at the end of a chapter to review the concepts and methods that you learned in the chapter.

The Exploring maths Class Book is organised into units to accompany the Teacher’s Book and are designed to help strengthen pupils’ understanding:
    * Includes activities, games and investigations that put maths in a real world context.
    * Worked examples at the beginning of each lesson help pupils work independently.
    * 3 levels of differentiation in each exercise help you pitch work at the right level.
    * Specific Functional Skills tasks focus on the important process skills.
    * “How well are you doing?” levelled self-assessment tests help pupils see what they need to do to improve.
    * Interesting facts inform pupils about the cultural and social roots of maths.

The Exploring Maths Home Book supports and consolidates the work carried out in class:
    * Each lesson has a homework task reinforcing what’s been taught in class.
    * Each homework task reminds pupils what they have learned in the lesson, so that they can apply it to the questions.
    * Accessible language ensures that pupils can work without adult support.

The Exploring Maths Teacher's book is an exceptional support:
    * Over 100 hours of lessons ensure there is plenty of material to use.
    * Detailed lesson notes are great for planning and provide in-depth support for non-specialist teachers.
    * Over 20 Check Up and Mental Tests with levelled questions, providing rigorous assessment support.
    * Lots of practical ideas for teaching maths effectively.
    * Functional Skills objectives are easy to find.

Fundamentals of Finite Element Analysisis is intended to be the text for asenior-level nite element course in engineering programs.
The mostappropriate major programs are civil engineering, engineering mechan-ics, and mechanical engineering.
The nite element method is such a widely used analysis-and-design technique that it is essential that undergraduate engineering students have a basic knowledge of the theory and applications of the technique.

Well-organized text designed to complement graduate-level physics texts in classical mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and quantum mechanics. Topics include theory of vector spaces, analytic function theory, Green's function method of solving differential and partial differential equations, theory of groups, more. Many problems, suggestions for further reading.
