DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/beb3f250/statistics_for_phy) has announced the addition of Elsevier Science and Technology's new report "Statistics for Physical Science. An Introduction" to their offering.
Statistical Methods for the Physical Sciences is an informal, relatively short, but systematic, guide to the more commonly used ideas and techniques in statistical analysis, as used in physical sciences, together with explanations of their origins. It steers a path between the extremes of a recipe of methods with a collection of useful formulas, and a full mathematical account of statistics, while at the same time developing the subject in a logical way. The book can be read in its entirety by anyone with a basic exposure to mathematics at the level of a first-year undergraduate student of physical science.
