A straightforward guide to the fundamentals of statistics 4 Jan 2006

By "jamie10470"

Format:Paperback

As software author with over 12 years experience in the industry I utilize facts and figures on a daily basis. Comprehensive, precise and accurate data is essential in my work and moreover the understanding of the methods involved achieving this information.
Approximately one year ago I was at a complete loss on a problematic report I was developing in a peace of software, a co-worker recommended I read the Statistics for Dummies and lent me his book. That evening I glanced over the book to quickly locate exactly what was required. The following morning I solved the problem within 30 minutes. I was so taken back with the transparency of the descriptions and straightforwardness of the explanations in the book I acquired a copy for myself on Amazon that very week.
This book lives not on the shelf but on my desk at hand with a select few.
I am at this time here on Amazon looking to acquire a further copy to exchange my original paperback which is now a little scruffy so while here I thought a quick review was well warranted.
Final note, if you’re a student or an accountant, an educator or a developer or anyone whom needs to use statistics I highly recommend this book to you.
Statistics are actuality extremely straightforward when explained by someone who truly understands them such as Deborah Rumsey the author of this excellent and easy to understand book.

good book 25 Sep 2009

By M. Brodzinski

Format:Paperback

I expected to find more worked examples using figures and formulae. It explains the theory in a very simple way though.
Good value for money. I recommend for those who don't know a thing about statistics.

Great for total beginners! 24 July 2010

By Freethinker

Format:Paperback

I had to understand statistics and understand them fast! I had a vague recollection of stats from school...some 15 years ago...but couldn't remember a thing! This book gave me a great grounding so that I could then go on to understand more complex stats. It is so good that I have ordered 'Statistics for Dummies II' to further my understanding and to have as a reference. If you are really struggling with stats, BUY THIS BOOK!
