The use of probability models and statistical methods for analyzing data has become
common practice in virtually all scientific disciplines. This course attempts to provide
a comprehensive introduction to those models and methods most likely to be encoun-
tered and used by students in their careers in engineering and the natural sciences.
Although the examples and exercises have been designed with scientists and engi-
neers in mind, most of the methods covered are basic to statistical analyses in many
other disciplines, so that students of business and the social sciences will also profit
from reading the book.
