Statistical Hypothesis Testing presents theory and methods of statistical hypothesis testing based on measure theory. The statistical space is a measurable space adding a family of probability measures. The book includes some typical data sets, such as the relation between race and the death penalty verdict and the behaviour of food intake of two kinds of Zucker rats.

Probability and statistics impinge on the life of the average person in many ways. This book presents important results of probability and statistics without making heavy mathematical demands. It should allow readers to assess statistical information properly and understand that the same information can be presented in different ways.
Naive Lie Theory

This presents an introduction to Lie theory with a focus on the so-called classical groups that capture the symmetries of real, complex and quaternion spaces. These symmetry groups may be represented by matrices, which allow them to be studied by elementary methods from calculus and linear algebra.
Group Theory: Birdtracks, Lie's, and Exceptional Groups
Author: Predrag Cvitanovi'c
Edition: First

Cvitanovi'c systematically develops, explains and applies diagrammatic projection operators to construct all semi-simple Lie algebras, both classical and exceptional. The invariant tensors are presented in a somewhat unconventional, but in recent years widely used, "birdtracks" notation inspired by the Feynman diagrams of quantum field theory.
