assistant professor position at Arizona State University (ASU), where he was ultimately promoted to the rank of full professor Dr Weiss has taught statistics, probability, and mathematics—from the freshman level to the advanced graduate level—for more than 30 years In recognition of his excellence in teaching, Dr Weiss received the Dean’s Quality Teaching Award from the ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences He has also been runner-up twice for the Charles Wexler Teaching Award in the ASU School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Dr Weiss’s comprehensive knowledge and experience ensures that his texts are mathematically and statistically accurate, as well as pedagogically sound In addition to his numerous research publications, Dr Weiss is the author of A Course in Probability (Addison-Wesley, 2006) He has also authored or coauthored books in finite mathematics, statistics, and real analysis, and is currently working on a new book on applied regression analysis and the analysis of variance His texts— well known for their precision, readability, and pedagogical excellence—are used worldwide Dr Weiss is a pioneer of the integration of statistical software into textbooks and the classroom, first providing such integration in the book Introductory Statistics (AddisonWesley, 1982) He and Pearson Education continue that spirit to this day In his spare time, Dr Weiss enjoys walking, studying and practicing meditation, and playing hold’em poker He is married and has two sons Dedicated to Aaron and Greg Contents Preface 11 Supplements 16 Technology Resources
