Book Reviews of Principles of Statistics (Dover Books on Mathematics)
Book Review: A classic textbook; probably the best introduction around
Summary: 5 Stars
I've learned probability and statistics from at least four other authors, and have constantly been browsing other textbooks that appear in the bookstore. I chanced upon Bulmer's 1965 book one fortunate day. It is still useful and relevant more than thirty years after its first printing. This clear and elegant book is also concise and straight-to-the-point, offering beautiful and brief developments of material that usually appears hopelessly muddled in many a reputable current statistics textbook (e.g., different notions of probability, the binomial, Poisson, normal distributions, and the Central Limit Theorem). Aside from the solid mathematics and many worked examples, the book includes a few entertaining digressions into the history of the subject. In short, learn and review statistics from this classic. Thank you, Mr. Bulmer, and Dover Publications (for making this textbook available in a nice format at such a low price).
