Have you ever thought about the uniqueness and simplicity of One? Is Four really so square and why are there Seven days of the week, Seven deadly sins, indeed Seven wonders of the world? This book takes a hands-on approach to such various topics as...

A complete guide to carrying out complex survey analysis using R As survey analysis continues to serve as a core component of sociological research, researchers are increasingly relying upon data gathered from complex surveys to carry out traditional...

Longitudinal studies often incur several problems that challenge standard statistical methods for data analysis. These problems include non-ignorable missing data in longitudinal measurements of one or more response variables, informative observation...

This book introduces the basic concepts of set theory, measure theory, the axiomatic theory of probability, random variables and multidimensional random variables, functions of random variables, convergence theorems, laws of large numbers, and...

Number theory, the branch of mathematics which studies the properties of the integers, is a repository of interesting and quite varied problems, sometimes impossibly difficult ones. The authors have gathered together a collection of problems from various...

Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically,...

Combining the collections Monster Poems, Morbus and Fashions, Nora Gomringer's trilogy offers a modern anthropology. Gomringer shines a light on the all-too-human, plays with the superficial and loves the invisible. Accompanied by Reimar Limmer's...
