 It helped me through many difficulties in probability and statistics July 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The most difficult class I had in my math major was probability and statistics. It was the last class I had to take and because of low enrollment, I was forced to take it at a neighboring college. Therefore, not only was I in an unfamiliar building, I also had a teacher that I had never had before. To that point, I had been either blessed or cursed, depending on your point of view, by having had only two different math teachers. The teacher for the probability and statistics class also had a style completely different from what I was accustomed too. Finally, since it was also the very last class I had to take as an undergraduate, it was difficult to overcome the disease of "senioritis", where one just wants to get it over with.
In an attempt to get overcome of these problems, I purchased a copy of this book at the local bookstore and worked through the problems. I set certain times in the week where I was to work only on these problems and when I was done I rewarded myself with small treats. I found the problems in this book to be reasonable reflections of what we were covering and the solutions made it much easier to understand what the instructor was saying.
In the end, I pulled a B in the class and was happy to get it. Much of that was due to the work I did with this book, it was at times a struggle and if the problems would not have been as easy to follow as they are, it is quite possible that I would have quit working them and suffered for it.
A great supplement to my text Intro to Mathematical Statistics by Hogg, McKean and Craig July 8, 2008

I am currently taking a mathematical statistics class using Intro to Mathematical Statistics by Hogg, McKean and Craig. This is a great supplement. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because it could not replace a good textbook but as a supplement I would probably give it a 5.
 Good as a refresher May 11, 2008

This book is good as a "refesher", but those starting a probability course will find it hard to grasp the concepts and ideas from probability and statistics. The beginner would be better off with the insightful book Understanding Probability from Cambridge University Press. This book contains also a great introduction to Bayesian statistics.
The Best Stats Companion February 17, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Although this is not a textbook, its probably just as good if not better than any textbook I've encountered in statistics. Each chapter usually starts off with a few proofs, then come the examples. You won't just get one or two examples, but many, & if they aren't enough, there are plenty of problems at the end of the chapter to work, all of which have the answers included. This book is geared towards someone that has already taken calculus III, & it is not a basic beginners statistics text. But overall, for the upper level statistics classes, this is one of the best books on the market & is surely a great companion to any regular statistics textbook.

This book is great for those who have taken statistics already and just need a refresher and for those you learn quickly. Great explaination of content and great examples and excercises.
