Probability and Statistics are studied by most science students, usually as a second- or third-year course. Many current texts in the area are just cookbooks and, as a result, students do not know why they perform the methods they are taught, or why the methods work. The strength of this book is that it readdresses these shortcomings; by using examples, often from real-life and using real data, the authors can show how the fundamentals of probabilistic and statistical theories arise intuitively. It provides a tried and tested, self-contained course, that can also be used for self-study. A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics has numerous quick exercises to give direct feedback to the students. In addition the book contains over 350 exercises, half of which have answers, of which half have full solutions. A website at www.springeronline.com/1-85233-896-2 gives access to the data files used in the text, and, for instructors, the remaining solutions. The only pre-requisite for the book is a first course in calculus; the text covers standard statistics and probability material, and develops beyond traditional parametric models to the Poisson process, and on to useful modern methods such as the bootstrap. This will be a key text for undergraduates in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Business Studies who are studying a mathematical statistics course, and also for more intensive engineering statistics courses for undergraduates in all engineering subjects. "From CRC Press's unrivaled pool of author experts comes the ultimate reader on terrorism. This book covers real-world threats and solutions for how to counter, prepare for, mitigate, manage, and respond to terror threats and acts. It looks at a number of global groups, paying particular attention to domestic attacks. Special emphasis is placed on tactics of both terrorists and counter-terrorists. It covers policy issues, critical infrastrucrue protection, terrorism funding, target selection, and other essential topics. Also discussed are weapons of mass destruction, intelligence/antiterrorism efforts, and terrorism crisis management and responder issues. "-- "Introduction From the best and brightest of CRC Press' unrivaled pool of author experts comes the ultimate reader on terrorism. This volume serves as a perfect complement to any course in Homeland Security, Terrorism, or Criminal Justice curricula because it provides not only a history and background of terrorism, but also covers: important policy issues; critical infrastructure protection as it relates to terrorism; terrorism funding; global and domestic groups; transnational terrorist activities, surveillance, planning, and tactic and target selection; weapons of mass destruction; intelligence; antiterrorism efforts; terrorism crisis management and responder issues; regional security issues; and current trends in terrorism and counterterrorism. Unlike other books on the market that cover only theory or history, this volumes considers the essentials of terrorism as well as real-world threats and solutions as to how to counter, prepare for, mitigate, manage and respond to terrorist threats and acts. As such, it is far more practical than the average survey book -- this is practitioner knowledge from the field straight into the reader's hands. The primary goal of this book is to give readers an understanding of what terrorism is, the terrorist threat, ways to prevent, mitigate, and deter attacks, and best practices with which to respond to and mitigate the impact of disasters. To accomplish this, it introduces readers to: the various definitions of terrorism; key terrorist global and domestic terrorist organizations and discuss the varying motivations behind these groups;"--
