Which stats book did you use for which course?
Intro stats is typically taught abysmally, because it's been dragged down by eighty years of pre-computing historical stats.
- 1971genocide 12y agoI was lucky to have studied in a british curriculum high school The books I used were these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-Level-Modular-Mathematics-Statistics/dp/0435519123 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-Level-Modular-Mathematics-St... These books were amazing. they were about 100 pages with lots of color and worked example. They go from S1-S6. What I find amazing is I have seen some insane greek syndrome books explaining the same topics as these ""kiddee" colored books. However My statistics education stopped after college ( exception being khan academy videos ), I have replaced all my stats modules with CS modules in university, I have hacked the stats modules I was forced to do by mugging up formulas and memorizing exam techniques :( so you can see why this stats prof complaining ticked me off as he thinks students haven't tried and are acting in ignorance.
