Probability & Statistics with R for Engineers and Scientists, 1st
Edition grew out of the author's notes for a course that he has taught
for many years to a diverse group of undergraduates. The early
introduction to the major concepts of the course engages students
immediately, which helps them see the big picture and sets an
appropriate tone. In subsequent chapters, these topics are revisited,
developed and formalized, but the early introduction helps students
build a true understanding of the concepts. It utilizes the statistical
software R, which is both widely used and freely available (thanks to
the Free Software Foundation). However, unlike other books on the
subject, it emphasizes not only the interpretation of software output
but the generation of this output. Applications are diverse and
relevant, and come from a variety of fields.
