This book helps readers bridge the gap between school-level mathematical skills and the quantitative and analytical skills required at the professional level. It presents basic mathematical concepts in an everyday context, enabling readers to pick up skills with ease.

Mathematics for Social Scientists:

• Focuses on building foundational skills in reasoning, data analysis and quantitative methods that are a requisite for progressing to higher levels;

• Helps readers express mathematical ideas in the form of sets, analyse arguments and their validity mathematically, interpret and handle data, and understand the concept and use of probability;

• Includes a dedicated chapter on symmetry, perspective and art to encourage readers to reason, model and objectively evaluate everyday situations.

The volume will be useful to students of various disciplines in Social Sciences and Liberal Arts. It will also be an invaluable companion to practitioners of social sciences, humanities and life sciences, as well as schoolteachers at the middle and higher secondary level.
