This book is designed for teaching key fundamental principles of Statistics. It briefly covers three main branches of Statistics: Descriptive Analysis, Probability and Interferential Analysis.

Descriptive Analysis presents and describes, sorts out and analyzes collected data using graphing tools and numerical chsracteristics. These topics will be explained in Chapters 1 (graphing analysis) and 2 (numerical characteristics).

Probability tells us how often an event may happen. As a theoretical method, the probability is largely used in mathematical application to real life problems. Probability is the most mathematical part of our book. We will cover essential consepts of probability in Chapters 3 – 5.

Inferential Analysis allows us to make predictions and inferences based on the analysis of the collected data. Various methods can be used for this purpose. Inferential Analysis is the crusial part of our book; it will be covered in Chapters 6 – 10.

Financial Empowerment is an adaptation of the openly licensed textbook Personal Finance, v. 1.0 which was adapted by Saylor Academy (2012) under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License without attribution as requested by the work’s original creator or licensee and is available here: http://www.saylor.org/site/textbooks/.

The purpose of the Financial Empowerment adaptation is to take an accessible, student-focused, personal finance textbook from the United States and make it affordable and relevant for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada. While many mainstream Canadian personal finance texts provide excellent content in terms of the mechanics of personal finance, they are expensive and not always relevant to the values and experiences of students in the classroom. Many mainstream personal finance texts fall short for Indigenous Canadians and non-Indigenous Canadians alike because they do not speak to the varied backgrounds, knowledge systems, and experiences of their readers. This textbook was adapted in order to motivate a broad range of students to learn about personal finance.

The specific goals of this textbook are:

1. to help students build a solid understanding of personal finance in order to achieve financial literacy and financial success by providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate short and long-term financial change;
2. to tailor the content for a Canadian audience by providing Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives on personal finance and financial planning using examples and information from the Canadian financial system and economy;
3. to increase accessibility to financial education resources for students and general public alike regardless of where they live or study;
4. to customize the content for Indigenous students in Canada and address student needs for practical and theoretical knowledge on financial decision-making and financial risk assessment; and
5. to connect financial literacy with Indigenous Knowledge and history by threading Indigenous perspectives and interviews with Elders and other community leaders throughout the textbook.

This book is an educational, entertaining, and highly personal memoir written during a global pandemic. It provides an insightful snapshot of the occasionally bumpy yet spiritually transformative cancer journey of a middle-aged, immigrant, and non-partnered academic living in a sunny Canadian prairie province.

It will be of interest to anyone who: 1) is or has been on the cancer continuum as a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend; 2) is or strives to be a health professional (oncologist, GP, nurse, social worker, pharmacist, physio- or exercise therapist, etc.); 3) is an administrator, instructor, teaching assistant, or student at a post-secondary institution interested in health sciences, English literature (memoir writing, creative non-fiction, and narratives of illness), Women’s and Gender Studies, Spirituality Studies, Religious Studies, and the Fine Arts; 4) fellow authors and/or readers who like to give writers from the Canadian prairies a chance.

The Appendix includes “Leading Reading Questions” meant to increase everyone’s reading experience and lighten the load of fellow university professors who wish to adopt this book, or part of this book, for a class.

Traveling along the musical sounds of tunes, nature, and her own inner sonic landscape, Sadie recounts journeys through trauma and recovery to embrace life at every sharp turn.

The APA Style Citation Tutorial is created by staff at the University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic libraries to support nursing students and faculty.

• If available, the “May suit” line lists University of Regina courses in which the resource could potentially be adopted (work-in-progress)

Faculty are encouraged to make use of these resources in their courses either as textbooks or as supplementary readings.

Leadership and Influencing Change in Nursing is designed for a single-semester introduction to the professional nurse’s leadership role as both a care provider and a formal leader. Nursing students will take this course in their third year as they prepare to assume a professional nursing role within the clinical health care environment.

These diverse voices are focused on providing student nurses with the foundational tools, techniques, and knowledge required to empower them to meet the leadership challenges found within the incessantly changing Canadian health care environment. Assembling this information using an online format allows for the material to be updated regularly so as to keep pace with the rapid expansion of knowledge.

The specific goals of this textbook are:

1. to ensure the information is relevant to Saskatchewan nursing students,
2. to tailor the content to nursing students’ needs for both practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge,
3. to provide up-to-date evidence-informed content on nursing leadership,
4. to thread Aboriginal content throughout the textbook, and
5. to tailor the textbook to the curriculum.
