ABSTRACT
Statistics and mathematics share a common language and computational procedures. For various reasons, some young students do not master basic elements in mathematics. Unless remediated early, students can get caught up in an unfortunate cycle in which failure to master the basics leads to failure at higher levels. This book breaks the cycle by providing a fresh chance to learn the essentials underlying achievement in the computational aspects of statistics. In addition to the ability to perform simple computations, there are only six clusters of mathematical skills essential for success in computational work in introductory statistics. All six can be mastered by careful study of the material in this book.
