"A critique of today's culture at large, touching on grief, loss, and narcissistic self improvement"--

The sixth edition of Meaningful Statistics introduces students to foundational concepts and demonstrates how statistics are an integral aspect of their everyday lives-from baseball batting averages to reports on the median cost of buying a home to the projected outcomes of an upcoming election.Each chapter begins with a question and scenario that is then explored through statistical concepts, demonstrating to students how research and statistics can help us to answer questions and solve problems. The opening chapter focuses on the process of collecting data and uses this information to explore whether multivitamins are a waste of money. Additional chapters explore linear regression and whether junk food is harmful to a child's IQ; normal distribution and the issue of a tie for Olympic downhill gold; confidence intervals and a simulation of the NBA draft lottery; and more.Students learn about descriptive measures for populations and samples; probability and random variables; and sampling distributions, with each concept corresponding to real-world examples. Closing chapters cover the testing of hypotheses, tests using the chi-square distribution; and inferences with two or more populations. For the sixth edition, exercises and examples have been updated throughout.Designed to bring key concepts to life, Meaningful Statistics is an ideal resource for courses in mathematics and statistics.

A brief account of the epidemical fever which lately prevailed in the city of New York: - With the different proclamations, reports and letters of Gov. Jay, Gov. Mifflin, the Health Committee of New York, &c. upon the subject is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1795.Hansebooks is editor of the literature on different topic areas such as research and science, travel and expeditions, cooking and nutrition, medicine, and other genres. As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. Hansebooks newly publishes these books and contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future.

The observation of Bose Einstein condensation in a dilute gas of rubidium in 1995 spawned the new field of ultra-cold, degenerate quantum gases. Unprecedented developments in experimental design and precision control have led to quantum gases becoming the preferred playground for designer quantum many-body systems. This self-contained volume provides a broad overview of the principal theoretical approaches applied to non-equilibrium and finite temperature quantum gases. It covers Bose Einstein condensates, degenerate Fermi gases, and the more recently realised exciton-polariton condensates in solid state systems. This book fills a gap by providing links between different approaches which have their origins in condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, quantum optics, atomic physics and statistical mechanics. The chapters describing different methodologies have been authored by key researchers in their development, and are organised according to their basic assumptions. The volume uses a unified notation, contains numerous introductory chapters, and is accompanied by editorial notes to guide the reader, providing the first integrated and comparative view of the benefits and shortcomings of the individual approaches. This book is aimed at both graduate students and established researchers wishing to understand the state of the art in non-equilibrium and finite temperature techniques in the exciting and expanding field of quantum gases and liquids.
