    The 5th edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach - emphasising the intuitive, deemphasising the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasise the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorisation, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.
