In this article, we present an engaging problem that is accessible to students at a variety of grade and skill levels. The problem is drawn from a common, real–world setting (tennis) and illustrates how a single problem can be solved in many ways by using increasingly powerful mathematics. We present these solution strategies as a sequence, beginning with informal hands–on activities and progressing to more formal and advanced mathematics. By considering the variety of solution strategies and by seeing how advanced mathematical techniques arise from basic properties and phenomena, students can develop a connected view of mathematics. The tennis problem allows students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts and methods in a bounded setting.

Mathematical Techniques

This textbook bypasses the need for advanced mathematics by providing in-text computer code, allowing students to explore Bayesian data analysis without the calculus background normally considered a prerequisite for this material. Now, students can use the best methods without needing advanced mathematical techniques. This approach goes beyond “frequentist” concepts of p-values and null hypothesis testing, using the full power of modern probability theory to solve real-world problems. The book offers a fully self-contained course, which demonstrates analysis techniques throughout with worked examples crafted specifically for students in the behavioral and neural sciences. The book presents two general algorithms that help students solve the measurement and model selection (also called “hypothesis testing”) problems most frequently encountered in real-world applications.
