...questionnaires were sent to over 9,000 girls around the country between the ages of nine and 15. Follow-up questionnaires—which included alcohol as one of the many survey topics??€”were sent to women over the course of many years...

Introductory statistics courses, which are required by many empirical social sciences, cover the former, but leave one unacquainted with the calculus needed to build models. Math departmental courses, on the other hand, are heavy on calculus, usually so much so that students...
