Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My study habits and high school curriculum (early 1950s) did not prepare me for college calculus, so I was limited to taking applied statistics courses as an undergraduate (6 in all), all before the days of computers. I have used statistics all during my professional career and constantly searched for new books to refresh my memory or to learn new statistical techniques. Intro Stats by Velleman and De Veaux is by far the best text I have ever encountered. It is written in an easily understandable style, is well structured, and very user friendly. I recommend it highly.

Stats: Modeling the World is a modern book in many ways. It carries a core focus on statistical thinking throughout the text, emphasizing how statistics helps us to understand the world. And it utilizes both graphing calculator and computer software technologies in doing Statistics. The topic order is designed to ensure that each new topic fits into the growing structure of understanding that students build. The mantra of Think, Show, and Tell is repeated in every chapter, emphasizing the importance of thinking about a statistics question and reporting our findings. The authors know that the best way to teach is with humor. The book is fun to read. And students report that they actually read it. (Honest!)--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
