This book describes 15 practical applications of Human Complexity in the context of software and digital products development. And suggests a new strategy for introducing Complexity thinking to your team and your organisation. The book is for leaders, managers, facilitators, change agents (Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches), and team members.

This book explores supervised machine learning for scientific research, addressing its limitations in interpretability, causality, and uncertainty quantification. By unifying philosophical justification with practical solutions, it provides a roadmap for turning machine learning into a rigorous tool for science.

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.

What if learning faster had less to do with talent and more to do with how you learn? Discover the science behind rapid understanding, lasting knowledge and expert-level performance. This book shows you how to spot patterns, build mental models and master new skills faster than you thought possible, without relying on natural genius.

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.

Some ideas are difficult to explain, no matter how well you know your subject. The Art of Making the Complex Clear shows you how to make complicated ideas easier to grasp without losing what makes them important. Grounded in science and backed by practical strategies, it helps you explain things in a way people understand, remember and act on.

You read to learn, but how much do you actually remember? Discover why most of what you read fades within days and how to make knowledge stick. Backed by cognitive science and neuroscience, this book offers practical strategies to retain what matters, recall it when needed and turn reading into lasting knowledge you can use.

New to research? This is the one book you should read. It's got everything. It'll take you from choosing your project and starting out in a lab, through designing experiments, acquiring data and performing the appropriate analysis, and all the way on to writing up your work for publication, and presenting your work at conferences.

These are the fundamental principles of greenkeeping, if one agrees that greenkeeping is all about the growth rate of the grass and modifying that rate to get the desired surface conditions. Here's what influences the growth rate, how turfgrass managers can think about those factors, and how they can be adjusted to achieve the desired growth rate.

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

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?
