This unique text provides a thorough yet accessible grounding in the mathematics statistics and programming that students need to master for coursework and research in climate science meteorology and oceanography. Assuming only high school mathematics it presents carefully selected concepts and techniques in linear algebra statistics computing calculus and differential equations within the context of real climate science examples. Computational techniques are integrated to demonstrate how to visualize analyze and apply climate data with R code featured in the book and both R and Python code available online. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter with selected solutions available to students to aid self-study and further solutions provided online for instructors only. Additional online supplements to aid classroom teaching include datasets images and animations. Guidance is provided on how the book can support a variety of courses at different levels making it a highly flexible text for undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers and professional climate scientists who need to refresh or modernize their quantitative skills.
