内容説明
Focusing on the fields of public administration and public policy, this text makes some difficult concepts in the fields of statistics and operations research accessible to students with no particular mathematical background. A systematic approach to problem-solving, it discusses a wide range of tools, from simple to highly sophisticated, including the use of the computer in solving analytical problems. It shows that quantitative techniques, however complicated and esoteric, are in fact extensions of generally agreed-upon thinking.
