Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-24 00:00:00 Clayton Collins I bought this book out of curiosity and also because statistics interests me. Having done the Statistics GCSE, most of the stuff was drudgingly familiar to me. When Tal then progressed onto the more complex error-calculating stuff, I feel as though he missed some key stages in the teaching process that would allow readers to understand - meaning I don't think it is suitable for the casual reader, as Tal claims. The worst part, however, was the way Tal went on increasingly frequent segues that added little or even confused the point of the chapter (and spoilt the source material for anyone who fancied reading those books). Furthermore, he would often repeat the same thing in slightly different ways again and again in the same chapter, as though to fill up space, while claiming that it was a different point to be made. This book was bad enough to bring me to tears of frustration, and I wouldn't really recommend it to the general reader. It's not good.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-23 00:00:00 Bradley Rempfer Not much to say here. I was tremendously disappointed by this book, inasmuch as I had hoped to find in it another volume of math for polymaths. No such luck. This was merely a dull, basic intro-to-statistics text which used Stendahl quotes as a gimmick. Really failed to connect on the "so what?" level, despite striving to make the point that statistics is basically philosophy extrapolated through math.
