Math in Society
David Lippman · Pierce College
This book is a survey of contemporary mathematical topics, most non-algebraic, appropriate for a college-level quantitative literacy topics course for liberal arts majors. The text is designed so that most chapters are independent, allowing the instructor to choose a selection of topics to be covered. Emphasis is placed on the applicability of the mathematics.

The Essence of Mathematics Through Elementary Problems
Alexandre Borovik & Tony Gardiner · University of Manchester & University of Birmingham
The Essence of Mathematics consists of a sequence of 270 problems – with commentary and full solutions. The reader is assumed to have a reasonable grasp of school mathematics. More importantly, s/he should want to understand something of mathematics beyond the classroom, and be willing to engage with (and to reflect upon) challenging problems that highlight the essence of the discipline.

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.

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.

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.
