This book provides a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of real-life scientific problems which encounter non-linear data. The authors first present methods for developing distributions on a circle.

By Dana Frank
"I am a Black woman, a wife, mother, business-owner, landlord and property owner. The business I steward as general managing partner is already a legacy-generator: I'm the second generation enjoying the fruits of the previous generation's vision and labor, and I take great pride in the fact that my life-long work has also created a legacy for my children and future generations. I am not beholden to anyone, for anything, save the renters that rely on us to provide safe, secure, and affordable housing.
