Turning Numbers into Knowledge, now out in its 3rd Edition!
At long last, the 3rd edition of Turning Numbers into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving is out! Official publication date was October 1st, 2017 for the paperback. The eBook versions (kindle and ePub) will be released on November 1st, 2017.
I first wrote this book to train young analysts I was hiring when I was a Staff Scientist and Group Leader at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I found that even graduates of the best engineering schools still had a lot to learn about the art of analysis when they came to work for me. This book teaches them those skills in a readable and entertaining way, and I’ve used it to train hundreds of students and professionals since the first edition came out in 2001.
The book is composed of 39 short chapters, each covering a topic I think is important to beginning analysts. There are lots of quotations, examples, graphics, figures, and some of my favorite cartoons, so you’ll have a few chuckles as you read along. College students and advanced high school students should have no problem learning from it–the text is well edited and has been honed over the years.
For this edition, I’ve updated many examples, tightened up the text, and made sure the material related to the Internet was fully up to date.
