Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help you develop deeper understanding. It guides you to a level of mathematical proficiency, with additional support if needed through its clear and intuitive explanations, current applications and generalized concepts. Technology exercises in every section use the calculator or computer for solving problems, and Computer Explorations offer exercises requiring a computer algebra system like Maple or Mathematica. The 15th Edition adds exercises, revises figures and language for clarity, and updates many applications.

For courses in Linear Algebra. Fosters the concepts and skillsneeded for future careers Linear Algebra and ItsApplications offers a modern elementary introduction with broad, relevantapplications. With traditional texts, the early stages of the course arerelatively easy as material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting, butstudents often hit a wall when abstract concepts are introduced. Certainconcepts fundamental to the study of linear algebra (such as linearindependence, vector space, and linear transformations) require time toassimilate - and students' understanding of them is vital. Lay, Lay, and McDonald make theseconcepts more accessible by introducing them early in a familiar, concrete n setting, developing them gradually, and returning to themthroughout the text so that students can grasp them when they are discussed inthe abstract. The 6th Edition offers exciting new material, examples,and online resources, along with new topics, vignettes, and applications.

The definitive reference book with real-world solutions you won't find anywhere else The Big Book of Dashboards presents a comprehensive reference for those tasked with building or overseeing the development of business dashboards. Comprising dozens of examples that address different industries and departments (healthcare, transportation, finance, human resources, marketing, customer service, sports, etc.) and different platforms (print, desktop, tablet, smartphone, and conference room display) The Big Book of Dashboards is the only book that matches great dashboards with real-world business scenarios. By organizing the book based on these scenarios and offering practical and effective visualization examples, The Big Book of Dashboards will be the trusted resource that you open when you need to build an effective business dashboard. In addition to the scenarios there's an entire section of the book that is devoted to addressing many practical and psychological factors you will encounter in your work. It's great to have theory and evidenced-based research at your disposal, but what will you do when somebody asks you to make your dashboard 'cooler' by adding packed bubbles and donut charts? The expert authors have a combined 30-plus years of hands-on experience helping people in hundreds of organizations build effective visualizations. They have fought many 'best practices' battles and having endured bring an uncommon empathy to help you, the reader of this book, survive and thrive in the data visualization world. A well-designed dashboard can point out risks, opportunities, and more; but common challenges and misconceptions can make your dashboard useless at best, and misleading at worst. The Big Book of Dashboards gives you the tools, guidance, and models you need to produce great dashboards that inform, enlighten, and engage.

Statistics and their analysis are key to making mathematical sense of the world around us. In this textbook the authors underscore the importance of statistical methods and calculation skills and explain clearly and simply the key concepts and principles of statistics, so that they are easy to understand. The main purpose of the book is to make students more confident about handling statistical data and enable them to understand the meaning of the results obtained.

Statistical methods cover the collection of data, descriptive methods and inferential methods of analysis. Calculation skills cover elementary calculations, percentages and ratios, equations, graphs and interest calculations. The elementary calculations include basic calculations, such as exponents, decimals, scientific notation, logarithms, rounding and VAT calculations. This book teaches students with no mathematics background how to do basic calculations before concentrating on the statistical applications. For some courses, calculations such as interest, future values of investments, graphs and ratios form part of the core module and are also covered in this book.
