Excellent introduction to statistics...
This book manages to stay focused on the main ideas all the way through. It uses no more math than what is necessary to derive the proofs of most theorems (although some are omitted). The main ideas of each chapter is introduced before the details are worked out, and summarized at the end of each chapter. The examples and case-studies are usually interesting (sometimes thought-provoking), instead of solely being based on urns and coloured balls. And the exercises range from trivial to interesting...In short, this is about as good as a textbook gets...

Great Book
This book is very useful in learning statistics. The text has many applications and problems that are practical. The authors include interesting biographical background on certain mathematicians and topics--this helps the student feel more connnected with the material. I highly recommend buying a copy (especially used--better deal) of this book for class or personal study.

Excellent Introductory Text
This is an excellent introductory text for students who wish to know more about mathematical statistics. The book is ideal for a student with a good solid year of mathematics, and the case studies really make the statistics theory more relevant Similar Products
