A book that has actual problems and solutions for Statistical Methods and Calculus for Business and Social Science. It also has additional notes and examples to help you understand the subjects at a more understandable level.

This book is designed to introduce doctoral and graduate students to the process of conducting scientific research in the social sciences, business, education, public health, and related disciplines. It is a one-stop, comprehensive, and compact source for foundational concepts in behavioral research, and can serve as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to research readings in any doctoral seminar or research methods class. This book is currently used as a research text at universities on six continents and will shortly be available in nine different languages.

Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences introduces calculus in real-world contexts and provides a sound, intuitive understanding of the basic concepts students need as they pursue careers in business, the life sciences, and the social sciences. The new Ninth Edition builds on the straightforward writing style, practical applications from a variety of disciplines, clear step-by-step problem solving techniques, and comprehensive exercise sets that have been hallmarks of Hoffmann/Bradley's success through the years.

Research is defined as “the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings Research is not only to develop the process or to find a formula as we do in the science.But in the field of social science the research work is oriented towards the solution of a problem or to seek an answer of a question. The first step of a research process is to identify a problem. The selection of a problem is governed by reflective thinking. Unthinking activity is governed too completely by tradition or by emotion. Primitive life was largely without effective reflective thought, until some intelligent individual conceived of a new solution for an old problem. Therefore. upper educational groups ever do much careful ordered thinking. The normal human mind thinking may be classified into four categories: convergent, divergent reflective and scientific thinking. In reflective thinking individual conceived for a new solution for an old problem, but scientific thinking is in terms of carefully organized reflection.
