Produktbeschreibung

The second edition of this bestseller is an ideal textbook for students and a valuable reference for environmental scientists and engineers. Written in an easy-to-understand style, Statistics for Environmental Engineers, Second Edition consists of 54 short, "stand alone" chapters. All chapters address a particular environmental problem or statistical technique and are written so that each one can be studied independently and in any order. Chapters are organized around specific case studies, beginning with brief discussions of the appropriate methodologies, followed by analysis of the case study examples, and ending with comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches.
