    This textbook was originally adapted from David Lippman’s Math in Society in addition to The Monterey Institute for Technology and Education’s content for Geometry and Measurement, Larry Ottman and Ellen Lawsky’s content for Normal Distribution, and my own written content to fit the course outline of record. This is the textbook’s second edition, where Chapter 5: Measurement and Geometry in version ⌊0.99⌋ is now two chapters, Chapter 5: Measurement and Chapter 6: Geometry. Exercises were added at the end of Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. Content was added in Chapter 11 for better use of the z-score table (also added at the end of section 11.2) in addition to more exercises at the end of the chapter
