Miller & Freund's Probability and Statistics for Engineers (7th Edition)

Summary: Smooth and useful text for probability and statistical tests
Review: The book is rather well written. It starts with verty simple probability theory and then describes densities and gets into tests and other topics. The level of math is reasonable and I think undergraduates in both engineering and economics should be able to handle that level of math. Every topic comes with numerical examples which makes it easy to get ideas. There are exercises in the book too and many of them (but not all of them) are helpful for understanding. At the end of the book you can conveniently find tables of distributions and different statistics you can use. I am still using those tables for my works. The only downside is that the book doesn't cover much of probability (like functions of random variables). The distribution covered are mainly to build basis for later chapters about testing. So I would say this is a good book for those who want to learn statistical tests and reliability.

Summary: Dont use this book
Review: This book is terriable. It might be okay if u are very good with intergals...but for those who have taken calculus and are taking stats a few years afterwards..this book is not a very good one. Lack of examples, and lack of explanations makes thei book a horriable one.
