Mathematics & Statistics

Mathematics: the unifying language of science. To paraphrase Galileo, one cannot understand the universe without the language of mathematics. Although it may have been a controversial statement in his time, today it is obvious. Advanced mathematics plays a vital role throughout science, from abstract networks and cryptography to medical research and climate science.

Modern statistics allows researchers to analyze large data sets, gleaning new insights and justifying scientific claims. The Mathematics & Statistics eBook subject area contains invaluable books that support every scientist in their quest for truth, from student-friendly undergraduate textbooks to authoritative monographs on the latest advances. Covering topics from uncertainty quantification to statistical learning, via all areas of pure and applied mathematics, our unique collection will accelerate discovery and interdisciplinary collaboration. It also contributes significantly to the developments needed to reach the sustainable development goals.
