Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-15 00:00:00 Nate Biazy A well-done book on statistics that includes all the theorems I can think of. Goes into situations and proofs that require Calculus, but that isn't really a big deal. The book is pretty standard, though I don't know how good MINITAB is since I have neither used nor heard of it. Apparently, it is a statistics package. Then again, I suppose I could modify it for SciPy or something along those lines. In any case, this book is really good at explaining things. My only problem is that my grounding in Calculus is so tenuous that I don't really have a grasp of the proofs presented. All I can do is smile and nod at the results. So I probably need to go back to Calculus and try to learn that on my own.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-14 00:00:00 Sandra Fenton-Goss Terrible. Doesn't explain the mathematics indepth, and is poor at giving an intuitive understanding of statistics. One of the worst textbooks I have had the displeasure of reading.
