There are books on statistical theory, and there books on statistical methods. This is neither. Now available with Macmillan’s online learning platform Achieve, Statistics: Concepts and Controversies (SCC) is a book on statistical ideas and statistical reasoning and on their relevance to public policy and to the human sciences from medicine to sociology. The text includes many elementary graphical and numerical techniques to give flesh to the ideas and muscle to the reasoning. Students learn to  think about data by working with data. We have not, however, allowed technique to dominate concepts. The text’s intention is to teach verbally rather than algebraically, to invite discussion and even argument rather than mere computation, though some computation remains essential. The coverage is considerably broader than one might traditionally cover in a one-term course, as the table of contents reveals. In the spirit of general education, the authors have preferred breadth to detail. Despite its informal nature, SCC is a textbook. It is organized for systematic study and has abundant exercises, many of which ask students to offer a discussion or make a judgment. Even those admirable individuals who seek pleasure in uncompelled reading should look at the exercises as well as the text. Teachers should be aware that the book is more serious than its low mathematical level suggests. The emphasis on ideas and reasoning asks more of the reader than many recipe-laden methods texts. Achieve for Statistics: Concepts and Controversies connects the problem-solving approach and real world examples in the book to rich digital resources that foster further understanding and application of statistics. Assets in Achieve support learning before, during, and after class for students, while providing instructors with class performance analytics in an easy-to-use interface.

With a unique framework, Macmillan’s innovative online learning system Achieve, and a fresh approach guided by students’ needs, Preparation for Calculus: Functions and How They Change equips students with the necessary skills and confidence to succeed in their current precalculus course and beyond as a calculus student. The authors have written a text for today’s precalculus students: focusing on challenges observed in the modern classroom, rather than retrofitting antiquated practices to fit the present-day student. Preparation for Calculus promotes the deep integration of digital resources with easy-to-understand textbook content to develop strong calculation skills and mathematical sophistication. Preparation for Calculus is intended to support instructors who seek to effectively prepare their students for subsequent courses in calculus. Through the text’s informal, intuitive, and early introduction to rates of change and limits, students are offered a dynamic view of functions that ties together the oftentimes intimidating and seemingly varied topics in precalculus. Preparation for Calculus presents these ideas as foundational for mathematical understanding, instead of as add-ons at the end of the book. The early and consistent presentation of these topics also allows for a capstone final chapter, which summarizes key precalculus concepts and applications. This demonstrates the unifying concepts between precalculus and calculus, while serving as a springboard for success in calculus. Macmillan’s ground-breaking online learning tool, Achieve, redefines assessment and student engagement by providing flexible support for every instructor and detailed guidance for every student, all in an intuitive, accessible platform.
