Basic Statistics Using R for Crime Analysis
Jaeyong Choi · West Chester University
This text is for those interested in becoming crime analysts, focusing on learning statistics without delving too deeply into mathematics. Moreover, this book emphasizes practical applications by utilizing R for data analysis, ensuring students can develop relevant skills beyond the university. I hope that students can easily follow the instructions in this book and replicate the same outcomes using the provided data. This practical experience will demonstrate the value of statistics and R.

Yet Another Introductory Number Theory Textbook - Cryptology Emphasis
Jonathan A. Poritz · Colorado State University – Pueblo
This introductory number theory textbook has a particular emphasis on connections to cryptology. The cryptologic material arising naturally out of the ambient number theory. The main cryptologic applications — being the RSA cryptosystem, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, and the ElGamal cryptosystem — come out so naturally from considerations of Euler's Theorem, primitive roots, and indices that it renders quite ironic G.H. Hardy's assertion of the purity and eternal inapplicability of number theory.

Applied Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
Jeffrey R. Chasnov · Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
These lecture notes are for a mathematics course offered to second-year engineering students. Material from our usual courses on linear algebra and differential equations have been combined into a single course (essentially, two half-semester courses) at the request of our Engineering School. I have tried my best to select the most essential and interesting topics from both courses, and to show how knowledge of linear algebra can improve students’ understanding of differential equations.
