Abstract
THIS book is the outcome of a serious attempt to derive accepted statistical methods and formulæ from elementary mathematics. It opens with a chapter called “A Little Calculus” ; and it may be presumed that the mathematical proficiency of the reader marches pari passu with his reading of the book, for the later chapters are on such subjects as partial and multiple correlation, the normal curve, non-linear correlation, analysis of variance, curve fitting and so on.
