Summary: Excellent Supplemental Text to a variety of stats courses!
Review: Like most students,I was not looking forward to my Introductory Statistics course. However, knowing that I had to do it I made certain to purchase several supplemental texts to aid in clarification when the textbook failed to do so. Although the title says 'Forgotten Statistics' it does serve as an aid to those who are entirely new to the subject as it presents the concepts in a logical fashion( the book is divided in two sections one for concepts and problems the other with definitions). This book has remained in my backpack the entire semester. So much, in fact, that I find myself going over problems during my liesure time. This book has served me rather well. It has not required lots of additional time in learning and problem solving. My GPA and I are happy about that.

Summary: Statistics: More Interesting The Second Time Around
Review: This is an excellent refresher for Statistics, laid out logically and with ideas clearly illustrated graphically. Published by Barron's, these "Forgotten" books are nicely oriented toward the professional who needs to brush up on a subject in order to make competent decisions and communicate intelligently. "Statistics and Probability" is one of those amazing sciences that we take for granted from childhood, but the more we think about it (as we get older, regrettably), it begins to dawn on us that this is the catalyst of many mysterious processes, such as the forces of life overcoming entropy. Science has rather recently discovered that there is really no such thing as "randomness", with the advent of Chaos Theory bringing down the walls of the last bastion of that idea. Statistics and Probability then become the focus of means by which some form of Higher Intelligence manages to do its business under our noses without us having a clue as to its presence!

Summary: Just the Facts, Mam
Review: This review book is formated in such a way that I can actually help my child with homework. I go directly to the section she's learning, and can quickly review the section that's current to her learning needs. She and I can do the reviews together and this wouldn't be possible without this book. I especaily like that I don't have to refer to hundreds of pages before being able to help my child.
