The Authors' Vision for Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach

0 0 87

Daren Starnes and Josh Tabor are no strangers to the world of publishing, but following the success of their high school titles in statistics, they endeavored to bring their distinct voices and goal of elevating all students to introductory statistics at colleges and universities.

They joined forces with Ann Cannon, professor at Cornell College and author of STAT2, to write Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach, the first modern introductory/general statistics title to offer a true blend of computation and conceptual understanding, appropriate for instructors and learners from a variety of math backgrounds, that emphasizes the importance of statistical thinking in the real world, as messy as it can sometimes be.

“In addition to the intriguing contexts included in the examples and exercises, we structured the book to make it clear what students need to know and be able to do.

We hope that using Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach enhances your statistics course and builds a foundation of statistical literacy that will connect students to the world around them. ”
