 A must have material for probabilty & statistics October 15, 2009

If you are studying advanced statistics, you might want to add this as an essential item to your reading list. It's a perfect balance between the mathematical and descriptive approach, but you need to be familiar with a bit of 'A' level maths though. But the book gives good value for money and knowledge.

College Course Use August 11, 2009

I'm reviewing Schaum's Outline of Probability and Statistics 3/e from the Amazon sample for potential use as the probability component of my Intro to Logic course. The sample contains most of the book's first chapter, with which I am very impressed. The explanations are thorough, and written in very clear and concise language. Examples are interesting and the "Solved Problems" section in the latter part of the chapter is very good. I have looked at probability chapters in the most popular Intro to Logic course books and the Schaum's is the best I've read so far.
Although this Kindle version is advertised for Kindle DX use, it worked fine on my Kindle2. About half of the formulae were clear and large enough for my eyes. Using the K2 picture-zoom feature worked OK, not great, but well enough.
I could not tell from the sample with its Table of Contents whether or not the book includes problems, without the answers, to assign to students, but then from what I can tell the Schaum's Outlines are for students's review, not for course books, and teachers can easily enough make up probability problems.
Being a new Kindle user, I do need to know what this Amazon note means before purchasing the book: "Simultaneous Device Usage: Up to 4 simultaneous devices, per publisher limits." Coursebook publishers typically give a free book copy to professors who require the book in their courses. I need to know how this will this work for eBooks. If publishers don't offer eBook exam or desk copies, few professors will use the eBook versions
I definitely recommend this book--Chapter 1 anyway--for anyone who wants to review or learn anew how to calculate probabilities.
 Riddled with Typos August 20, 2010

I thought the material covered in this book was excellent and the examples are very good as well, but there was just one problem....riddled with typos. I noticed the first one on a Supplementary Problem in the the first chapter: the given answer was way off. Then in the 2nd chapter I noticed on another practice problem that there was an addition sign instead of an equal sign. Issues like this popped up for me through the FIRST 5 CHAPTERS!!!! If you are just learning some of this material it can be extremely frustrating because one symbol or number that is off may cause you to rack your brain for hours trying to figure out if it's the book or you that is wrong. Because most students blindly trust books this can cause a real hiccup in your studies. When I finally got fed up with the book I had to call McGraw Hill to see if they could exchange it for one without all the errors. Because I didn't purchase it directly from them (as most individual students purchase books from a store) they said there is nothing they could do for me except inform the editors. When I asked them if they accept any product liability on their part their response was: "If you buy food from one grocery store you can't return it at another". I urge you that if you are learning this material for the first time STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK. I gave this book 2 Stars because the content and explanations were pretty good, but the typos eventually became too much to overlook.
