Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-07 00:00:00 Alessio Mongardi The book is okay as far as content goes, but many of the solutions it gives are actually incorrect. My complaint about mathematical textbooks is that they exploit college students' inelastic demand for education goods and charge a fortune for every update of the book ' compounding this problem is that when they release a "new edition" the content itself stays exactly the same and only the practice problems are changed. If you can't do the homework with a previous edition, you have to buy the newest edition. You're stuck. At the very least if you are planning to release a new edition of a book in which you only change the practice problems, at least update all the answers. Please.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-03 00:00:00 Joan Rubik One of the best introductory mathematical statistics books I have worked through. Clear, concise and elucidating writing, with tons of examples to digest the material. Although by no means damaging the conceptual clarity and quality, at times the clear and easy-to-understand writing is at the expense of mathematical rigour, but the authors rightly mention every such case. Very much recommended to anyone who wants to learn and thoroughly understand statistical concepts.
