Fundamentals of Statistics - Couverture souple

Michael Sullivan III is a Professor of mathematics at Joliet Junior College.  He holds graduate degrees from DePaul University in both mathematics and economics.  Mike is a very successful textbook author, having co-authored the following texts

• Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities 4e (CR 2006)
• College Algebra Enhanced with Graphing Utilities 4e (CR2006)
• Algebra and Trigonometry Enhanced with Graphing Utilities 4e (CR2006)

His time in the classroom and extensive authoring experience has given him an excellent foundation to write a successful introductory Statistics text: Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data 2e (2007) and a briefer version of this text, Fundamentals of Statistics, 1/e (2005).

Because Mike’s passion is making math more exciting and accessible to students, he is coauthoring a developmental math series for Prentice Hall that will be published in 2007. These titles will include:

• Elementary Algebra (CR2007)
• Intermediate Algebra (CR2007)
• Elementary and Intermediate Algebra (CR2007)

Mike is the proud father of three children and when he isn’t teaching or writing, he can be found coaching his children’s baseball and soccer teams.

This very popular text promotes student success while maintaining the statistical integrity of the course. Three objectives motivate this text: (1) to generate and maintain student interest, thereby promoting student success and confidence; (2) to provide extensive and effective opportunity for student practice; (3) to permit flexibility of teaching styles. This revision follows the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) for the college introductory statistics course.
