Bowerman ] Applied Statistics ] 1997 ] 1

I'm currently doing a first course in mathematical statistics and have found that this book extends my knowledge much further than the locally published book prescribed to us or the lectures we recieve. It is also goes beyond the scope of most other books aiming to introduce business statistics. It's easy language makes for no effort in understanding basic principles - even for a freshman like me. Highly recommended... just don't plan on carrying it about.
