With a uniquely user-friendly style, Clare Morris' popular treatment of this challenging subject is carefully designed to build students' confidence in the use and interpretation of quantitative methods. Encouraging conceptual understanding as well as practical aptitude, the text leads the reader from an initial chapter revising basic mathematics through to a concluding chapter discussing statistical research methods for student projects.

New for this edition Access to MyMathLab Global, an unrivalled online tutorial and assessment system. Many new 'Quantitative Methods in Practice' examples, drawn from recent and topical articles in the press and beyond. Substantial case-studies at the end of each chapter, integrating the material of the chapter. Revised and updated throughout.
