Applied Discrete Structures
Al Doerr & Ken Levasseur · University of Massachusetts Lowell
Applied Discrete Structures is designed for use in a university course in discrete mathematics spanning up to two semesters. Its original design was for computer science majors to be introduced to the mathematical topics that are useful in computer science. It can also serve the same purpose for mathematics majors, providing a first exposure to many essential topics.

Mathematics for Game Developers
Denny Burzynski · College of Southern Nevada
In this book, we focus on a few of the mathematical instruments used in programming languages such as C# and C++. Programming languages have libraries of commands that you can use to write programs, and their commands come from mathematical instruments. In Mathematics for Game Developers, we explore the basic ideas of how mathematical instruments control action and motion in the games you develop. And we introduce technology that performs all the mathematical calculations you might need.

Natural Resources Biometrics
Diane Kiernan · SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
The following chapters cover one- and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), including multiple comparison methods and interaction assessment, with a strong emphasis on application and interpretation. Simple and multiple linear regressions in a natural resource setting are covered in the next chapters, focusing on correlation, model fitting, residual analysis, and confidence and prediction intervals.

Quantum Chemistry
Seymour M. Blinder · University of Michigan
This course is designed to introduce students to a thorough, research-oriented view of Physical Chemistry. Students solve the Schrödinger equation in 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensions for several problems of interest in chemistry, including the particle-in-a-box, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor, and hydrogen atom. Further topics include atomic structure, valence-bond and molecular orbital theories of chemical bonding and group theory. Quantum theory are applied to molecular spectroscopy and NMR.

Street-Fighting Mathematics
Sanjoy Mahajan · Olin College of Engineering
An antidote to mathematical rigor mortis, teaching how to guess answers without needing a proof or an exact calculation. In problem solving, as in street fighting, rules are for fools: do whatever works—don't just stand there! Yet we often fear an unjustified leap even though it may land us on a correct result. Traditional mathematics teaching is largely about solving exactly stated problems exactly, yet life often hands us partly defined problems needing only moderately accurate solutions.

Ethics in Law Enforcement
McCartney & Parent · BC Campus
In this book, you will examine the moral and ethical issues that exist within law enforcement. This book will also familiarize you with the basic history, principles, and theories of ethics. These concepts will then be applied to the major components of the criminal justice system: policing, the courts, and corrections. Discussion will focus on personal values, individual responsibility, decision making, discretion, and the structure of accountability.

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.

Mathematical Biology
Jeffrey R. Chasnov · Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Biology, as is usually taught, requires memorizing a wide selection of facts and remembering them for exams, sometimes forgetting them soon after. For students exposed to biology in secondary school, this text may seem like a different subject. The ability to model problems using mathematics requires almost no rote memorization, but it does require a deep understanding of basic principles and a wide range of mathematical techniques.
