Written by two of the most respected leaders in statistics education, JUST THE ESSENTIALS OF ELEMENTARY STATISTICS, Third Edition, is the "essentials" version of Johnson and Kuby's market-leading Eighth Edition of ELEMENTARY STATISTICS. This version is tailored to students who need a working knowledge of statistics, but do not have a strong background in mathematics. The text promotes learning, understanding, and motivation by presenting statistics in a context that relates to personal experiences. Statistics is presented as a useful tool in understanding the world around us through real world applications in areas such as business, economics, engineering, and the physical and natural sciences.
I used this book in an undergrad statistics course and learned so much. Information was extremely clearly presented; if you are teaching an undergrad statistics course you should definitely test drive this one.
By the end of chapter two: So, far, it sucks. That's the most adult comment I can currently muster to describe this obnoxious excuse for a math textbook. --------- Finished: By the conclusion of the book, I'm afraid my remarks have not really strayed far from my prefatory analysis.
