A new advanced text in applied statistics and methodology in the social sciences, aimed at Ph.D. students in political science, sociology, and related disciplines. The authors take an applied perspective here, emphasizing core statistical concepts, computation in R, and the tools for evaluating and interpreting statistical models.

This book demonstrates how to solve for the velocity profile of the classic problems of fluid mechanics, starting with Navier-Stokes equation. It explains when it is appropriate to simplify a problem by neglecting certain terms through proper dimensional analysis.
