Painlessly covered more topics than my undergrad stats course did. A shame it wasn't available when I took the course. Would've saved me quite a bit of time.

Very good system for introducing statistics, but there were a lot of calculation mistakes and typos that caused some confusion.
I love this series. I've even got past the embarassment of being seen reading them.
