I enjoyed and appreciated how clear and concise the info is. It made learning statistics easier than I thought.
However… the theme of this book goes like this: Read about a subject relating to statistics/probability, read one simple example, followed by a solution, which is then followed by one MAYBE two practice questions and then move right along to another new subject. The next subject is somewhat of what you just learned, with something new added to it. This cycle continues until you become a little lost and confused.
Yes, there are some practice questions at the chapters end (review questions) but its not enough! Repetition is key to learning this stuff. Only answers for the odd numbered questions are in the back, but they are just answers, no solution is written or drawn out. Its so frustrating to spend upwards of 20 minutes on one problem only to see the incorrect answer with no clue on what you did wrong.
Good luck!
I’ve had to use books by this author in other math courses, and he keeps making mathematical errors in his textbooks. And it’s not just me noticing this. In the previous math course where I had to use one of his books, three professional tutors from my school, a University of Maryland economics professor, and a friend who minored in math all caught errors this author made. Five other people with math backgrounds and a complete math idiot caught errors by this author? Not good. I wish this teacher who keeps using his books would stop, but she won’t.
In terms of clarity, the author’s okay. Statistics is hard, but his clarity’s all right. But finding errors in a textbook is not acceptable.
The sample questions and answers in the back really only round when they want to. This makes it really difficult especially if you are using a TI 83 or 84 which consistently give different answers than the book. If they are going to teach you how use the calculator. At least give the all (and I do mean all) answers in back with both calculator and non-calculator answers.
