Abstract
THIS volume, in the series of Nelson's Aeroscience Manuals, covers the elementary ideas of statistical theory, including distributions, means, measures of dispersion, correlation, elements of probability, least squares and the normal distribution. The mathematics required are not very advanced and are carefully explained; and there are numerous examples and exercises. The book should be useful in giving a general idea of the subject to those who do not wish to specialize in it.
