Is college worth the cost? Should I worry about arsenic in my rice?
Can we recycle pollution? Real questions of personal finance,
public health, and social policy require sober, data-driven
analyses. This unique text provides students with the tools of
quantitative reasoning to answer such questions. The text models
how to clarify the question, recognize and avoid bias, isolate
relevant factors, gather data, and construct numerical analyses for
interpretation. Themes and techniques are repeated across chapters,
with a progression in mathematical sophistication over the course
of the book, which helps the student get comfortable with the
process of thinking in numbers. This textbook includes references
to source materials and suggested further reading, making it
user-friendly for motivated undergraduate students. The many
detailed problems and worked solutions in the text and extensive
appendices help the reader learn mathematical areas such as
algebra, functions, graphs, and probability. End-of-chapter problem
material provides practice for students, and suggested projects are
provided with each chapter. A solutions manual is available online
for instructors.
