Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach provides the key to understanding statistics in the real world for today’s students. The authors started first with the needs of students, how they learn and digest new material, what’s relevant to them, and how they practice their skills.  They then built out an all-in-one offering designed to provide a pathway to understanding for all students and show why statistics matters in the modern world.

Learning Financial Accounting can often feel like learning a foreign language. Before students even grasp the underlying concepts of accounting, they are immersed in unfamiliar terms, and before students fully realize the purpose of financial statements, they are asked to make detailed recording procedures. This early emphasis on terminology and recording can be a struggle for non-accounting majors to see the relevancy, leading to increased dropouts and higher failure rates. This creates a challenge for Financial Accounting instructors, who must balance the need to engage and retain non-majors while fully preparing accounting majors for the next level.

The authors of Introductory Financial Accounting for Business offer a solution emphasizing an analytical approach to accounting – teaching students to think like business professionals and speak in terms of bottom-line consequences: How will a given transaction impact my overall business? How can I make better business decisions whether I’m an accountant, manager, or entrepreneur?
