Analytical Chemistry 2.1
David Harvey · DePauw University
The introductory course in analytical chemistry is the ideal place in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum for exploring topics such as experimental design, sampling, calibration strategies, standardization, optimization, statistics, and the validation of experimental results. Analytical methods come and go, but best practices for designing and validating analytical methods are universal.

Mike’s Biostatistics Book
Michael R Dohm · Chaminade University
The lecture notes are written from my perspective on what matters in a semester-long, first course in Biostatistics: concepts, context and practical advice along with a generous introduction to general linear models. The focus is on applied statistics with reference to other data science skill sets as needed. Concepts are illustrated by examples and multiple choice questions to “test” reader comprehension.
