David Bock - Böcker

For courses in Introductory Statistics. Encourages statistical thinking using technology, innovative methods, and a sense of humour Inspired by the 2016 GAISE Report revision, Stats: Data and Models, 5th Edition by De Veaux, Velleman, and Bock uses innovative strategies to help students think critically about data, while maintaining the book's core concepts, coverage, and most importantly, readability. The authors make it easier for instructors to teach and for students to understand more complicated statistical concepts later in the course (such as the Central Limit Theorem). In addition, students get more exposure to large data sets and multivariate thinking, which better prepares them to be critical consumers of statistics in the 21st century. The 5th Edition’s approach to teaching Stats: Data and Models is revolutionary, yet it retains the book's lively tone and hallmark pedagogical features such as its Think/Show/Tell Step-by-Step Examples.

Clear, accessible, and teachable, Stats: Modeling the World leads with practical data analysis and graphics to engage students and get them thinking statistically from the start. Through updated, relevant examples and data—and the authors’ signature Think, Show, and Tell problem-solving method—students learn what we can find in data, why we find it interesting, and how to report it to others. The new Fourth Edition is even more engaging than previous editions, builds on the innovative features that have made the first three editions so popular, and includes revisions designed to make it even easier for students to put the concepts of statistics together in a coherent whole.

For courses in Introductory Statistics (algebra-based).

 

Gets students thinking statistically from the start

Stats: Modeling the World by Bock, Velleman, DeVeaux, and Bullard engages students by opening with practical data analysis and graphics. Chapters begin with new, motivating examples and follow through with analyses of the data; then, real-world examples provide a basis for sample problems and exercises.

The authors’ colloquial, approachable writing style reads unlike any other statistics text. Their signature Think, Show, and Tell problem-solving method guides students through learning what we can find in data, why we find it interesting, and how to report it to others. Focused lessons are shorter than in most other texts, and are more manageable for both students and instructors. The 5th Edition extends the innovations of this acclaimed text, with important revisions and additions that support the teaching of Statistics and statistical thinking as it is practiced today.

Encourages statistical thinking using technology, innovative methods, and a sense of humor

Inspired by the 2016 GAISE Report revision, Stats: Data and Models, 5th Edition by De Veaux/Velleman/Bock uses innovative strategies to help students think critically about data — while maintaining the book’s core concepts, coverage, and most importantly, readability.

By using technology and simulations to demonstrate variability at critical points throughout the course, the authors make it easier for instructors to teach and for students to understand more complicated statistical concepts later in the course (such as the Central Limit Theorem). In addition, students get more exposure to large data sets and multivariate thinking, which better prepares them to be critical consumers of statistics in the 21st century.

For courses in Precalculus

The Rule of Four: A Balanced Approach

Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic provides a balanced approach to problem solving and a consistent transition from Precalculus to Calculus. A principal feature of this text is the balance among the algebraic, numerical, graphical, and verbal methods of representing problems: the rule of 4. This approach reinforces the idea that to understand a problem fully, students need to understand it algebraically as well as graphically and numerically.

The 10th Edition introduces graphing technology as an essential tool for mathematical discovery and effective problem solving. This edition also features a full chapter on Statistics to help students see that statistical analysis is an investigative process.

Innovative methods, technology, and humor encourage statistical thinking

Intro Stats, 6th Edition by De Veaux/Velleman/Bock uses inventive strategies to help students think critically about data, while maintaining the book's core concepts, coverage, and readability. By using technology and simulations to demonstrate variability at critical points throughout the course, the authors make it easier for instructors to teach and for students to understand more complicated statistical concepts later in the course.

This revision includes several enhancements, enriching material with greater use of the authors' signature tools for teaching about randomness, sampling distribution models, and inference. Current discussions of ethical issues have been added throughout, and each chapter now ends with a student project that can be used for collaborative work.
