Statistics For Engineers and Scientists

The Idea For This Book Grew Out Of Discussions Between The Statistics Faculty And The Engineering Faculty At The Colorado School Of Mines Regarding Our Introductory Statistics Course For Engineers. Our Engineering Faculty Felt That The Students Needed Substantial Coverage Of Propagation Of Error, As Well As More Emphasis On Modelfitting Skills. The Statistics Faculty Believed That Students Needed To Become More Aware Of Some Important Practical Statistical Issues Such As The Checking Of Model Assumptions And The Use Of Simulation-- Provided By Publisher.
