Great for the advanced study of statistics

If you are an undergraduate in a probability and statistics course I think a better selection would be Schaum's Outline of Probability and Statistics, 3/E (Schaum's Outline Series) in conjunction with your textbook. That is a thorough investigation of introductory probability and statistics. This book is for the serious student of statistics that is ready to investigate subjects such as detection and estimation theory, curve fitting, and more. In fact, if you are planning on studying Estimation and Detection Theory on the graduate level, I recommend getting this outline and going through it prior to entering the formal course. It will make a big difference in your comprehension of the subject matter. I keep this book around as a reference and a refresher on subjects I have forgotten. If you already have a basic understanding of statistics and you just want to know more, this makes a great and inexpensive textbook. It is certainly much better than the expensive hardcover texts on the subject that I have run across.

Effective refresher ... Efficient reference

I recommend this text to financial professionals I teach ... VERY helpful to clear the cobwebs several years after college!

Excellent study guide/aid; Great for "A+"'s in Statistics

It seems now as if, when it comes to studying, books and CD-ROMs/disks/diskettes really do mix to the better. I plan on taking AP Statistics, and this book is really helpful for this and other tests. The subject can be hard to some people, but this book simplifies it to make it easy. Statistics is always applied in the real world, so here there are also applications. Everyone should have one of these to be proficient in math. This book is extremely helpful, strongly reccomended, and completely necessary.

Comprehensive and straight to the point

My battered old copy of Spiegel has been a great help to me over the years. Dr. Spiegel provides comprehensive coverage of his topics (for example, unlike other authors of introductory texts he actually provides formulas for assessing skew and kurtosis) and he explains them simply and clearly. I have found his book particularly valuable when I have to use analytical designs or procedures which I do not normally use -- he provides a good overview and gives you a good idea of where you should be looking for further information. Now I've discovered there's an expanded second edition I'm going to order it.

Extremely useful book

I have used this book as a reference for understanding and solving various types of statistics problems for over ten years. It makes application of statistics concepts to real world problems easy because it contains many good example problems that are solved for the reader. One statistics teacher complemented me on my use of the book because it is very difficult to use the information in other textbooks on problems because they contain very few solved examples. I own a few other statistics books but this one is always the most useful.
