Field Guide to Compelling Analytics

Field Guide to Compelling Analytics is written for Analytics Professionals (APs) who want to increase their probability of success in implementing analytical solutions. In the past soft skills such as presentation and persuasive writing techniques have been the extent of teaching junior APs how to effectively communicate the value of analytical products. However there are other aspects to success such as trust and experience that may play a more important role in convincing fellow APs clients advisors and leadership groups that their analytic solutions will work. This book introduces the formula ‘Analytics + Trust + Communication + Experience > Convince Them’ to illustrate an AP’s ability to convince a stakeholder. The ‘Convince Me’ stakeholders might be an analytics team member team lead decision-maker or senior leader that are either internal or external to the AP’s organization. Whoever they are this formula represents a concise digestible and above all practical means to increase the likelihood that you will be able to persuade them of the value of your analytical product. Features Includes insight questions to support class discussion Written in broadly non-mathematical terms designed to be accessible to any level of student or practicing AP to read understand and implement the concepts Each section introduces the ideas through real-life case studies

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics instructors are always looking for ways to engage students in meaningful and authentic tasks that utilize mathematics. At the same time it is crucial for a democratic society to have a citizenry who can critically discriminate between “fake” and reliable news reports involving numeracy and apply numerical literacy to local and global issues. This book contains examples of topics linking math and social justice and addresses both goals. There is a broad range of mathematics used including statistical methods modeling calculus and basic algebra. The range of social issues is also diverse including racial injustice mass incarceration income inequality and environmental justice. There are lesson plans appropriate in many contexts: service-learning courses quantitative literacy/reasoning courses introductory courses and classes for math majors. What makes this book unique and timely is that the most previous curricula linking math and social justice have been treated from a humanist perspective. This book is written by mathematicians for mathematics students. Admittedly it can be intimidating for instructors trained in quantitative methods to venture into the arena of social dilemmas. This volume provides encouragement support and a treasure trove of ideas to get you started. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal PRIMUS: Problems Resources and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies. | Mathematics for Social Justice

Social Cognition Selected Works of Susan Fiske

In the World Library of Psychologists series international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces—extracts from books key articles salient research findings and their major practical theoretical contributions. Susan T. Fiske has an international reputation as an eminent scholar and pioneer in the field of social cognition. Throughout her distinguished career she has investigated how people make sense of other people using shortcuts that reveal prejudices and stereotypes. Her research in particular addresses how these biases are encouraged or discouraged by social relationships such as cooperation competition and power. In 2013 she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and in 2011 to the British Academy. She has also won several scientific honours including the Guggenheim Fellowship the APA Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award the APS William James Fellow Award as well as the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations Wundt-James Award and honorary degrees in Belgium the Netherlands Spain and Switzerland. This collection of selected publications illustrates the foundations of modern social cognition research and its development in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. In a specially written introductory chapter Fiske traces the key advances in social cognition throughout her career and so this book will be invaluable reading for students and researchers in social cognition person perception and intergroup bias. | Social Cognition Selected Works of Susan Fiske
