A textbook for an introductory course for students who need a working knowledge of statistics but do not have a strong mathematical background. Johnson and Kuby (both Monroe Community College) suggest at least one semester of college mathematics for students who have not completed intermediate algebra. They strive to present the concepts and methods in a context familiar and useful to students, and focus on using computers and interpreting the outcome. The CD contains data sets, concept links, short videos, longer tutorials, and lectures for lecture presentation or notes. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Robert R. Johnson is Professor of Mathematics Emeritus and a former chair of the Mathematics Department at Monroe Community College. He received his B.S. from SUNY Cortland and his M.A. from University of Northern Iowa, both in mathematics; and has studied statistics at University of Iowa and Rochester Institute of Technology. Bob was the author of ELEMENTARY STATISTICS and JUST THE ESSENTIALS OF STATISTICS until being joined by co-author Patricia Kuby. They also co-author STAT. Professor Johnson has given several presentations about the teaching of statistics" and the use of MINITAB? in teaching statistics at various conferences and workshops.
