How much should we trust the polls on the latest electoral campaign? When a physician tells us that a diagnosis of cancer is 90% certain or a scientist informs us that recent studies support global warming, what should we conclude? Questions such as these are greatly important, yet many of us have only a vague sense of how to answer them. In Is That a Fact?, Mark Battersby aimsnot only to explain how to identify misleading statistics, but also to give readers the understanding necessary to evaluate and use statistical information in their own decision-making.

Elements of Mathematics: From Euclid to Gödel John Stillwell

Hbk | 440pp | 9780691171685 | 1/06/2016 | RRP (inc GST) A$77 | NZ$88 Princeton University Press

Elements of Mathematics takes readers on a fascinating tour that begins in elementary mathematics--but, as John Stillwell shows, this subject is not as elementary or straightforward as one might think. Not all topics that are part of today's elementary mathematics were always considered as such, and great mathematical advances and discoveries had to occur in order for certainsubjects to become "elementary." Stillwell examines elementary mathematics from a distinctive twenty-first-century viewpoint and describes not only the beauty and scope of the discipline, but also its limits. Elements of Mathematics gives readers, from high school students to professional mathematicians, the highlights of elementary mathematics and glimpses of the parts of math beyond its boundaries.

Tensor Calculus for Physics: A Concise Guide Dwight Neuenschwander

Pbk | 248pp | 9781421415659 | 21/10/2014 | RRP (inc GST) A$83 | NZ$94 Johns Hopkins University Press

Understanding tensors is essential for any physics student dealing with phenomena where causes and effects have different directions. A horizontal electric field producing vertical polarisation in dielectrics; an unbalanced car wheel wobbling in the vertical plane while spinning about a horizontal axis; an electrostatic field on Earth observed to be a magnetic field by orbiting astronauts - these are some situations where physicists employ tensors. But the true beauty of tensors lies in this: When coordinates are transformed from one system to another, tensors change according to the same rules as the coordinates. Tensors therefore allow for the convenience of coordinates while also transcending them. This makes tensors the gold standardfor expressing physical relationships in physics and geometry.
