SAS is not difficult to learn, but it is a lot to learn. There are so many different SAS products,
procedures, and options that it’s difficult to know where to start, and it’s easy to invest a lot of
time in learning before you reach the point of being able to use SAS effectively to do really useful
work.
The purpose of this book is to provide “just enough” instruction on a broad variety of topics so
that a new SAS user can become productive very quickly. Because the coverage is very broad, it
is necessarily not as deep as the coverage in other sources. So there are many references to books
and papers that you can use to better understand the topics introduced here, and most of the papers
are included for download as PDF documents.
Much of the material in the book is general enough to be useful in many fields, but the examples
are geared toward the analysis of quality and reliability data, and Chapters 9 and 10 are
specifically aimed at those topics. |

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to Hopf algebras. This
book differs from other texts in that Hopf algebras are developed from notions of

pedagogical advantages, the foremost being that algebraic geometry and category
theory... |
