This book provides an introduction to science and scientific
thinking for students who have not had much contact with science.
It explains what is distinctive about the scientific approach and
its product, scientific theories. The emphasis is on quantitative
approaches and on showing how the use of number in science greatly
extends the reach of the investigative tools. The book is divided
into three parts: General Material (what are the problems faced by
scientists and the general techniques used to overcome them?);
Introduction to Thermodynamics (examples of how theories are
constructed); and Introduction to Statistical Analysis (examples of
randomness). The book is laid out with a blackboard-style summary
on the left-hand pages and text explanations on the right-hand
pages. Many examples and assignments are included throughout.
