Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

Would you like to use TK or TKTD modelling to answer (applied) scientific questions, but lack the background in modelling and/or statistics? Then this is the book for you. This book provides a small selection of the tools from math and stats, along with some elements from philosophy of science, to get you up to speed.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. This book covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data.

The official companion of Finding Hidden Messages in DNA, the popular first course in Coursera's Bioinformatics sequence. Learn how biologists have begun to decipher the strange and wonderful language of DNA without needing to put on a lab coat. This book contains the first two chapters from Volume 1 of Bioinformatics Algorithms: An Active Learning Approach.

A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro, so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using our books in the classroom. More resources: openintro.org.

Quantum computing is real, but is frankly surrounded by a thick fog of hype. Do you want to see it clearly, understand its realities, and even consider joining it as a professional software engineer?

Build a strong foundation in physics without getting lost in jargon or formulas. Atom Education: Physics 101 combines intuitive explanations, practical examples, and structured problem-solving to make essential physics concepts easier to understand.

Greenhouse gas emissions have caused considerable changes in climate, including increased surface air temperatures and rising sea levels. This e-textbook presents a series of laboratory exercises in R that teach the Earth science and statistical concepts needed for assessing climate-related risks. These exercises are intended for upper-level undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and professionals in other areas who wish to gain insight into academic climate risk analysis.

Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a powerful framework for ecotoxicology and stress ecology. This book provides a gentle introduction into the concepts behind DEB theory, and how to apply them in practice to understand stressor effects. The book is completely "math free".

Las señales estaban ahí. Nadie sabía interpretarlas. El fenómeno ya había comenzado.

Um livro sobre como ser um cientista à maneira moderna e de código aberto.

A book about how to be a scientist the modern, open-source way.

Bioavailability is a complicated issue. This thesis (from 2003) is on the uptake and elimination of organic chemicals by earthworms, and how to model it. The previously unpublished Chapter 2 is a general treatise on toxicokinetic models.
