A comprehensive and hands-on guide to crucial math concepts and
terminology In the newly revised third edition of All the Math
You'll Ever Need: A Self-Teaching Guide, veteran math and computer
technology teacher Carolyn Wheater and veteran mathematics author
Steve Slavin deliver a practical and accessible guide to math you
can use every day and apply to a wide variety of life tasks. From
calculating monthly mortgage payments to the time you'll need to
pay off a credit card, this book walks you through the steps to
understanding basic math concepts. This latest edition is updated
to reflect recent changes in interest rates, prices, and wages, and
incorporates information on the intelligent and efficient use of
calculators and mental math techniques. It also offers: A brand-new
chapter on hands-on statistics to help readers understand common
graphs An easy-to-use-format that provides an interactive method
with frequent questions, problems, and self-tests Complete
explanations of necessary mathematical concepts that explore not
just how math works, but also why it works Perfect for anyone
seeking to make practical use of essential math concepts and
strategies in their day-to-day life, All the Math You'll Ever Need
is an invaluable addition to the libraries of students who want a
bit of extra help applying math in the real world.
Offers a comprehensive, accessible introduction to experimental
design, field monitoring skills for plants and animals, data
analysis, interpretation and reporting This user-friendly book
presents field monitoring skills for both plants and animals,
within the context of a research project. This text provides a
single resource to take the reader all the way through from the
planning stage, into the field, guiding through sampling, organism
identification, computer-based data analysis and interpretation,
and finally how to present the results to maximise the impact of
the work. Logically structured throughout, and revised extensively
in the second edition, the book concentrates on the techniques
required to design a field-based ecological survey and shows how to
execute an appropriate sampling regime. It evaluates appropriate
sampling and analytical methods, identifying potential problems
associated with various techniques and how to mitigate these. The
second edition of this popular text has updated reference material
and weblinks, increased the number of case studies by 50% to
illustrate the use of specific techniques in the field, added over
20% more figures (including 8 colour plates), and made more
extensive use of footnotes to provide extra details. Extensions to
topics covered in the first edition include additional discussion
of: ethical issues; statistical methods (sample size estimation,
use of the statistical package R, mixed models); bioindicators,
especially for freshwater pollution; seeds, fecundity and
population dynamics including static and dynamic life tables;
forestry techniques including tree coring and tree mortality
calculations; the use of data repositories; writing for a journal
and producing poster and oral presentations. In addition, the use
of new and emerging technologies has been a particular focus,
including mobile apps for environmental monitoring and
identification; land cover and GIS; the use of drones including
legal frameworks and codes of practice; molecular field techniques
including DNA analysis in the field (including eDNA);
photo-matching for identifying individuals; camera trapping; modern
techniques for detecting and analysing bat echolocation calls; and
data storage using the cloud. Divided into six distinct chapters,
Practical Field Ecology, 2nd Edition begins at project inception
with a chapter on planning--covering health and safety, along with
guidance on how to ensure that the sampling and experimental design
is suitable for subsequent statistical analysis. Following a
chapter dealing with site characterisation and general aspects of
species identification, subsequent chapters describe the techniques
used to survey and census particular groups of organisms. The final
chapters cover analysing, interpreting and presenting data, and
writing up the research. Offers a readable and approachable
integrated guide devoted to field-based research projects Takes
students from the planning stage, into the field, and clearly
guides them through organism identification in the laboratory and
computer-based data analysis, interpretation and data presentation
Includes a chapter on how to write project reports and present
findings in a variety of formats to differing audiences Aimed at
undergraduates taking courses in Ecology, Biology, Geography, and
Environmental Science, Practical Field Ecology, 2nd Edition will
also benefit postgraduates seeking to support their projects.
