Biological Statistics
John H. McDonald · University of Delaware
The goal in that class is to teach biology students how to choose the appropriate statistical test for a particular experiment, then apply that test and interpret the results. In my class and in this textbook, I spend relatively little time on the mathematical basis of the tests; for most biologists, statistics is just a useful tool, like a microscope, and knowing the detailed mathematical basis of a statistical test is as unimportant to most biologists as knowing which kinds of glass were used

An Introduction to Psychological Statistics
Foster et al. · LibreTexts
We are constantly bombarded by information, and finding a way to filter that information in an objective way is crucial to surviving this onslaught with your sanity intact. This is what statistics, and logic we use in it, enables us to do. Through the lens of statistics, we learn to find the signal hidden in the noise when it is there and to know when an apparent trend or pattern is really just randomness.

Career/Life Planning and Personal Exploration
LibreTexts
Career/Life Planning and Personal Exploration is designed to cover theories and concepts of values, interests, skills and personality as applied to the career/life planning process and its application to labor market trends. Short/long term career/life plans will be developed. Students will develop an awareness of diversity and its relationship to psychological, sociological and physiological forces within the workplace.

Frameworks for Academic Writing
Steve Poulter · Newman University
This text is quite different from any other textbook or writing system. First, it is designed for a wide range of writing abilities, from beginning to expert academic writers. Writers who are simply unfamiliar with academic writing patterns benefit from sentence-by-sentence templates, prompts, tutorials, and examples. We have successfully applied the system to all academic writers, from 3rd-graders to dissertation writers. Secondly, the book is designed for a wide range of teaching abilities.

Quantitative Problem Solving in Natural Resources
Peter L. Moore · Iowa State University
This text is intended to support courses that bridge the divide between mathematics typically encountered in U.S. high school curricula and the practical problems that natural resource students might engage with in their disciplinary coursework and professional internships.

Social Data Analysis: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches
Mikaila Mariel Lemonik Arthur and Roger Clark · Rhode Islange College
This book is meant to help you in your initial attempts to analyze data. In doing so it will introduce you to ways that others have found useful in their attempts to organize data. You might think of it as like a recipe book, a resource that you can refer to as you prepare data for your own consumption and that of others. And, like a recipe book that teaches you to prepare simple dishes, you may find this one pretty exciting.

Mathematics for Elementary Teachers
Michelle Manes · University of Hawaii
This book will help you to understand elementary mathematics more deeply, gain facility with creating and using mathematical notation, develop a habit of looking for reasons and creating mathematical explanations, and become more comfortable exploring unfamiliar mathematical situations.

Learning Statistics with R - A tutorial for Psychology Students and other Beginners
DJ Navarro · University of New South Wales
Learning Statistics with R covers the contents of an introductory statistics class, as typically taught to undergraduate psychology students, focusing on the use of the R statistical software. The book discusses descriptive statistics and graphing first, followed by chapters on probability theory, sampling and estimation, and null hypothesis testing. Then the book covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, ANOVAs and regression. Bayesian statistics are covered afterward.

Physics 9HA: Classical Mechanics
Tom Weideman · University of California, Davis
Physics 9HA introduces general principles and analytical methods used in classical mechanics primarily for physics and applied physics majors, though it is also a good fit for engineering students that have a special affinity for physics and are looking for a more challenging first course in physics.

Business Calculus with Excel
Mike May, S.J. & Anneke Bart · Saint Louis University
This text is intended for a one semester calculus course for business students with the equivalent of a college algebra prerequisite. Rather than being a three-semester engineering calculus course that has been watered down to fit into one semester it is designed for the business students.

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.
