Description
This text is designed to help students become knowledgeable readers of cross-curriculum quantitative research literature. It provides a clear inviting view of quantitative research strategies for those students who may or may not have a mathematical background. The authors impart a conceptual understanding rather than teach calculational methods. The text can be used as a supplement for a basic statistics course or for any course requiring students to read and digest quantitative research literature. Examples are cross-curriculum and generic. Its strength is that it is very brief and doesn't overwhelm with too much detail.
Review: By Karen Vaughan "Herblady"
I used the first edition of Williams' Reasoning with Statistics in the late 70s when I was studying city and regional planning. I had an ambivalent to negative view of statistics (late registration had put me in the class.) But I came to enjoy both the subject and the book, and it led me to further statistical classes. I remember the title decades later. Its strength lies in showing how to use statistics meaningfully in the analysis of real world problems and it is designed to allow non mathemeticians to feel comfortable using statistical methods. It achieves its goal.
