Aimed at readers who may be more familiar with statistics than
calculus and mathematics, this carefully written volume gives an
overview of the central ideas in calculus. Author Gudmund R.
Iversen shows examples of how calculus is used to translate many
real-world phenomena into mathematical functions. Beginning with an
explanation of the two major parts of calculus, differentiation and
integration, Iversen illustrates how calculus is used in statistics
to distinguish between the mean and the median, to derive the least
squares formulas for regression coefficients, to find values of
parameters from theoretical distributions, and to find a
statistical p value when we using one of the continuous test
variables like the t variable. Social scientists who either never
took a calculus course or who want to "brush up" on their
understanding of calculus will find this book a necessity.
