A unique introduction to the design, analysis, and presentation of scientific projects, this is an essential textbook for students in science and mathematics. The textbook gives an overview of the main methods used in scientific research, including hypothesis testing, the measurement of functional relationships, and observational research. It describes important features of experimental design, such as the control of errors, instrument calibration, data analysis, laboratory safety, and the treatment of human subjects. Important concepts in statistics are discussed, focusing on standard error, the meaning of p values, and use of elementary statistical tests. The textbook introduces some of the main ideas in mathematical modeling, including order-of-magnitude analysis, function fitting, Fourier transforms, recursion relations, and difference approximations to differential equations. It also provides guidelines on accessing scientific literature, and preparing scientific papers and presentations.

Reviews & endorsements
"The book is highly readable and well organized. This book should be of interest to any student who is considering a scientific field of study, in that it will provide both information on how to carry out and present various types of research, as well as knowledge of what science professionals must do to be successful in their work."
