Using Stata for Quantitative Analysis is a supplemental text for undergraduate and graduate level courses involving research methods and statistical analysis. The manual will be written so that a wide variety of fields that offer such courses would be able to adopt it. Instructors most likely to adopt would include sociology, political science, economics, and psychology. These fields share a relatively similar approach to quantitative analysis and are all part of the trend towards using Stata as their primary statistical program

Kycle C Longest proposes to teach the language of Stata from an intuitive perspective, furthering students' overall retention, allowing for a student with no experience in statistical software to be able to sit down and be working with data in a very short amount of time.
