Basic Statistics in Business & Economics provides students
majoring in management, marketing, finance, accounting, economics,
and other fields of business administration with an introductory
survey of descriptive and inferential statistics. Many examples and
exercises that focus on business applications are used to
illustrate the application of statistics, but also relate to the
current world of the college student. A previous course in
statistics is not necessary, and the mathematical requirement is
first-year algebra. Students are given every step needed to be
successful in a basic statistics course. This step-by-step approach
enhances performance, accelerates preparedness, and significantly
improves motivation. Understanding the concepts, seeing and doing
plenty of examples and exercises, and comprehending the application
of statistical methods in business and economics are the focus of
this book. Today, the practice of data analytics is widely applied
to big data. The practice of data analytics requires skills and
knowledge in several areas. Computer skills are needed to process
large volumes of information. Analytical skills are needed to
evaluate, summarize, organize, and analyze the information.
Critical thinking skills are needed to interpret and communicate
the results of processing the information. This text supports the
development of basic data analytical skills with the end of each
chapter sections called Data Analytics providing the instructor and
student with opportunities to apply statistical knowledge and
statistical software to explore several business environments.
Interpretation of the analytical results is an integral part of
these exercises. A variety of statistical software is available to
complement the 10th edition. Microsoft Excel includes an add-in
with many statistical analyses. MegaStat is an add-in available for
Microsoft Excel. Minitab and JMP are stand-alone statistical
software packages available to download for either PC or Mac. In
the text, Microsoft Excel, Minitab, and MegaStat are used to
illustrate statistical software analyses. The text also includes
references or links to Excel tutorials in Connect. These provide
users with clear demonstrations using statistical software to
create graphical and descriptive statistics and statistical
analyses to test hypotheses. Digital resources within McGraw Hill
Connect (R) help students apply what they've learned and achieve
higher outcomes in the course. Connect is the only integrated
learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to
deliver precisely what they need when they need it and how they
need it so that class time is more engaging and effective.
This volume puts leading pragmatists in the philosophy of language,
including Robert Brandom, in contact with scholars concerned with
what pragmatism has come to mean for the law. Each contribution
uses the resources of pragmatism to tackle fundamental problems in
the philosophy of language, the philosophy of law, and social and
political philosophy. In many chapters, the version of pragmatism
deployed proves a fruitful approach to its subject matter; in
others, shortcomings of the specific brand of pragmatism are
revealed. The result is a clearer understanding of what pragmatism
has meant and can mean across these tightly related philosophical
areas. The book, then, is itself pragmatism in action: it seeks to
clarify its unifying concept by examining the practices that
centrally involve it.
Symbolic dynamics is a mature yet rapidly developing area of
dynamical systems. It has established strong connections with many
areas, including linear algebra, graph theory, probability, group
theory, and the theory of computation, as well as data storage,
statistical mechanics, and $C^*$-algebras. This Second Edition
maintains the introductory character of the original 1995 edition
as a general textbook on symbolic dynamics and its applications to
coding. It is written at an elementary level and aimed at students,
well-established researchers, and experts in mathematics,
electrical engineering, and computer science. Topics are carefully
developed and motivated with many illustrative examples. There are
more than 500 exercises to test the reader's understanding. In
addition to a chapter in the First Edition on advanced topics and a
comprehensive bibliography, the Second Edition includes a detailed
Addendum, with companion bibliography, describing major
developments and new research directions since publication of the
First Edition.
