Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences with Modeling Using R
暫譯: 工程與科學的機率與統計：使用 R 進行建模

機率與統計課程比以往更受歡迎。無論你的主修或職業是什麼，你在職業生涯中很可能會經常使用機率與統計的概念。

本書的主要目標是為教師提供靈活性，以便在此基礎上建立大多數本科課程。本書設計用於一學期的入門機率與統計課程（非基於微積分）和/或一學期的基於微積分的機率與統計課程。

本書專注於工程範例和應用，同時也包括社會科學及更多範例。根據章節的流動性，課程可以針對各個水平和背景的學生進行調整。

在多年教授這門課程的過程中，作者根據真實數據、學生專案和實驗室創建了問題。學生們建議這些問題增強了他們的學習體驗。作者希望與其他教師和學生分享專案和實驗室，使課程對雙方都更有趣。

R是一個優秀的平台。本書使用R與真實數據集。這些實驗室可以用於小組合作、課堂內或自學。這些專案實驗室經過多年課堂測試，效果良好，並鼓勵學生應用關鍵概念和技術來分析和呈現結果。
