There is a larger, available audience of student whose needs are not met by the available textbooks in mathematical statistics, but who nevertheless must gain an introduction to this complicated topic. Educators, environmental researchers, behavioral and biological scientists, applied mathematicians, astronomers, physical scientists, public health researchers, quantitative scientists, engineers, and computer scientists, among others, desire to learn mathematical statistics. In our view, this larger audience is not well served by the available books on mathematical statistics with their traditional approach. Mathematical Statistics with Applications is a textbook that provides graduate and advanced undergraduate students in mathematical statistics with a solid grounding in the prerequisite mathematics and the necessary exposure to mathematical statistics.
