This is an imaginative introduction to statistics, reorienting the course towards an understanding of statistical thinking and its meaning and use in daily life and work. Gudmund Iversen and Mary Gergen bring their years of experience and insight into teaching the subject, incorporating such innovations and insights as a sustained emphasis on the process of statistical analysis...(展开全部)

In the decade since its publication, the first edition of Statistics for Archaeologists has become a staple in the classroom. Taking a jargon-free approach, this teaching tool introduces the basic principles of statistics to archaeologists. The author covers the necessary techniques for analyzing data collected in the field and laboratory as well as for evaluating the significa...(展开全部)

Conceptual engineering and conceptual ethics are branches of philosophy concerned with questions about how to assess and ameliorate our representational devices (such as concepts and words). It is a part of philosophy that examines which concepts we should use (and why), how concepts can be improved, when concepts should be abandoned, and how proposals for amelioration can be i...(展开全部)

Conceptual Physics, Tenth Edition helps readers connect physics to their everyday experiences and the world around them with additional help on solving more mathematical problems. Hewitt's text is famous for engaging readers with analogies and imagery from real-world situations that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanic...(展开全部)

弗里德曼于 1938 年 3 月 5 日出生于加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔。他于 1958 年获得麦吉尔大学理学学士学位，并分别于 1959 年和 1960 年获得普林斯顿大学硕士和博士学位。他于 1961 年加入加州大学伯克利分校统计系担任讲师，并于 1962 年被任命为研究员。他的整个职业生涯都在伯克利大学度过。他以概率论者和数理统计学家的身份开始职业生涯，具有贝叶斯倾向，但后来成为世界领先的应用统计学家和谨慎的频率论者之一。

Paul G. Hewitt， 美国概念物理教学的先驱，是美国多所大学、中学的客座教师。其编写的教材深受广大读者欢迎。

The Poverty of Conceptual Truth is based on a simple idea. Kant's distinction between analytic and synthetic judgments underwrites a powerful argument against the metaphysical program of his Leibnizian-Wolffian predecessors—an argument from fundamental limits on its expressive power. In that tradition, metaphysics promised to reveal the deep rational structure of the world thro...(展开全部)

Fluent description of the development of both the integral and differential calculus. Early beginnings in antiquity, medieval contributions, and a century of anticipation lead up to a consideration of Newton and Leibniz, the period of indecison that followed them, and the final rigorous formulation that we know today.

One approach to organic synthesis is retrosynthetic analysis. With this approach a chemist will start with the structure of their target molecule and progressively cut bonds to create simpler molecules. Reversing this process gives a synthetic route to the target molecule from simpler starting materials. This “disconnection” approach to synthesis is now a fundamental part of ev...(展开全部)
