Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences

by Jay L. Devore

This market-leading text provides a comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics for engineering students in all specialties. This proven, accurate book and its excellent examples evidence Jay Devore's reputation as an outstanding author and leader in the academic community. Devore emphasizes concepts, models, methodology, and applications as opposed to rigorous mathematical development and derivations. Through the use of lively and realistic examples, students go beyond simply learning about statistics-they actually put the methods to use.Kindle textbooks are functionally equivalent to the print textbook.

Reviews

[Andrew Obrigewitsch]

This is a decent book on Probability and Statistics.

[Arun Mahendrakar]

This is a big book covering many topics like Probability, distributions, ANOVA and correlation. There are quite a few problems to solve that will help you strengthen your learning. But this book lacks explaining the concept. The author directly dives into the formula and it's usage. Detailing how to intuitively think about say, regression, will make this book really worthwhile.

[Michael Buford]

I dislike the format of the book. Jaynes "Probability: The Language of Science." and Savage's "The Foundations of Statistics." seem like better options if you're wanting to learn Bayesian Probability and Statistics.

[Sreej]

Dense and not as intuitive as it could be.

[Ira Burton]

A must read for people trying to make heads or tales of Statistics. The Probability section is a bit weak, but other than that a great text.

[Stephanie]

The chapters are well-written, but the problems are often rudimentary for the material presented.
