I should probably call this the "numbers" Guide.
Primary Source material in math, science, and economics, often includes data sets, numbers, measurements, and more.
WELCOME TO THE 'NUMBERS' Guide.
Anyone can use these numbers to apply critical investigations into their topic whether it is science, history, or literature. Take some time to visit some of these places and see how the numbers all add up - maybe answering your questions.
Enjoy!
