Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac)

• Review:: 'Stay away from it! This is book is bad written, has short examples, hard to understand, the exercises are too difficult compare with the examples... and also TOO EXPENSIVE..
• Review:: 'Quite good When it comes to statistics, there are really three levels: The lowest is very basic probability and statistics without any calculus, such as one would expect to learn in high school. The highest is the full blown mathematical treatment of the topic. This would include a proof of the central limit theorem (This book doesn't do that), as well as proofs of every formula. This book is somewhere in between. It drops monsters like bayes theorem in your lap, but it doesn't demand or include every extensive, gory proof. The only drawback, as other reviewers have mentioned, is that the author constantly references problems from other chapters, forcing you to flip back and forth just to do the exercise sets. I would like every problem to be self contained, and you don't get that at all with this book.
• Review:: 'This book is horrendous I am currently an undergrad engineering student taking a grad level statistics course using this book. The example problems in the chapters have nothing to do with the actual review problems, and the review problems themselves have parts A-ZZ. The "real world" problems do nothing to help the student understand the statistical method and how to actually apply the topics discussed. The problems also do little to further the understanding of the material The material is presented in a confusing and obfuscating manner, meaning that to find anything relevant, you have to either look something up on google or find a friend that has taken the course previously do get anything done. There are also many review problems on topics that were only briefly mentioned in the text, and you have no idea how to go about doing the problem because the material was never explained. This book deserves no stars.
• Review:: 'Very good reference book, read carefully to learn concepts. This book might seem to skim through all the contents but it's indeed really well developed. If you need to review for tomorrow's exam, you can find everything important in the boxes. If you are seeing the contents for first time, every needed explanation and deduction is available. You can see that the math is done a little bit short, but nothing that you cannot figure out with a little bit of thinking (Weren't you studying anyway?). I don't know why other people has been so harsh to this book, but I found it very usefull and I really learned from it. This book is slow read, if you don't read it thoughfully you won't get much of it. If you cannot recall simbols, it's simply because you didn't study it ;) The are only three bad things. First, some problems refer to data from other problems, instead of printing the data again, which results confusing. Second, the language is a little awkward from time to time and a very technical, but once again, nothing that could not be figured out easily. And third, the book builds chapter over chapter. Terms are used throughout the whole book,and at the end of the book, you need to be familiar with everything before to understand. Anyway, I think it's more a problem of Prob & Statistics in general than of this book in particular.
• Review:: 'Confusing presentation This book presents many things in rather strange ways. For instance, the central concept of a probability distribution appears in a number of different "versions" which are likely to confuse beginners (distributions on the sample space, distributions of a random variable defined on the sample space, and distributions of functions of random variables (statistics) are discussed as if they were separate concepts). More than once the order in which the material is discussed is truly amazing. For example, the central limit theorem is discussed before the linearity property of the expectation is even mentioned, although the latter is an essential part of formulating the CLT. Many further examples could be listed here. I do give the book credit for its effort of illustrating the material with real-world data sets. However, too little background (What exactly is measured? What is the context? Which results could be expected here?) is given in most cases, resulting in examples that convey little information beyond a sequence of numbers. In this sense I doubt the data sets are as instructive as the author claims them to be. I do not recommend this book.

Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant?- A Professor And a Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism & Christianity

Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant?

A Professor And a Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism & Christianity:

A Likewise book.

Greg Graffin is frontman, singer and songwriter for the punk band Bad Religion. He also happens to have a Ph.D. in zoology and wrote his dissertation on evolution, atheism and naturalism. Preston Jones is a history professor at a Christian college and a fan of Bad Religion's music. One day, on a whim, Preston sent Greg an appreciative e-mail. That was the start of an extraordinary correspondence.

For several months, Preston and Greg sent e-mails back and forth on big topics like God, religion, knowledge, evil, evolution, biology, destiny and the nature of reality. Preston believes in God; Greg sees insufficient evidence for God's existence. Over the course of their friendly debate, they tackle such cosmic questions as: Is religion rational or irrational? Does morality require belief in God? Do people only believe in God because they are genetically predisposed toward religion? How do we make sense of suffering in the world? Is this universe all there is? And what does it all matter?

In this engaging book, Preston and Greg's actual e-mail correspondence is reproduced, along with bonus materials that provide additional background and context. Each makes his case for why he thinks his worldview is more compelling and explanatory. While they find some places to agree, neither one convinces the other. They can't both be right. So which worldview is more plausible? You decide.

• Review:: 'great a great, intelligent discourse with two well educated men offering good points for each side.
• Review:: 'More like a spirited conversation at Perkin's than a "debate" This is a worthwhile book, if for no other reason than that it serves as a reminder that there are Christians, like Preston Jones, who need not be dismissed out of hand. Jones says up front that as one reads this book, the reaction might be to come up with better "arguments" for whatever side one is on. This is definitely the case--but that's part of the appeal. This is not a book to spoon-feed answers, but to raise questions. Having said that, I wish that Graffin--who actually surprised me by being more eloquent than I expected--had a little more philosophical sophistication. Some of what Graffin wrote reminded me of the quip, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." Graffin's main (if not exactly only) tool is science, and as crucial as science is, there are questions of meaning and morality that science as such is ill-equipped to address. But perhaps a more important point is that these issues DO have highly satisfactory atheistic (or "naturalistic," as the book would probably have it) responses. Graffin struggles a little to define and defend his view of meaning, while Jones gets to fall back on the simple "off the rack" teleology of the Bible. If Graffin were more familiar with books such as "The Problem of the Soul," and "Value and Virtue in a Godless Universe," his responses would have been crisper and more cogent. And I think one of the snappiest responses to a suggestion that in order for meaning to come from God, is that there would have to be a god...and since there isn't, for that reason alone it is simply not possible to derive meaning theistically. One last point: Graffin got cornered a little by the issue of whether religion (and especially the Catholic Church--the "Sinister Rouge" of the Bad Religion song) is responsible for more evil and suffering than anything else. I know whenever a fellow atheist trots out something like this, she's going to be slapped back with questions about the pogroms of Stalin and other secularists. The real distinction, I wish Graffin would have said, is not between religion and atheism. It's between a worldview that starts with only necessary assumptions, and then adds to those assumptions only on the basis of demonstrated fact; and a worldview that makes many assumptions that simply cannot be challenged. Marxism is, in this regard, very like religion. The evidence for that is what happened with Soviet scientist Lysenko, who through application of a "Marxist" form of biology helped produce starvation. It is true, I might have said in Graffin's shoes, that there are some questions that science might never answer, but it is not true of science that there are answers that may never be questioned. That is the real difference between what Graffin was trying to advocate for and dogmas of all stripes. This book is published by a Christian publisher, and I would urge atheists who are interested in reading it but not thrilled about supporting what amounts to a propagandistic ministry to see if "Is Belief in God..." is available from a library.
• Review:: 'Gentlemen and scholars It is rare to find a such balanced and informed discussion regarding religion. The participants pose thier arguments in a friendly manner, but they are both clearly well studied in their respective fields. I'm a Bad Religion fan, and thus am quite familiar with Greg Graffin's opinions. I find Preston Jones quite impressive, he's clearly a devout Christian, but not fundimentalist, and is refreshingly accepting of other ideas. This conversation would have been very different - if not impossible - if it were between Graffin and oh, say, Pat Robertson. What makes this book so engaging is the fact that both men were able to HEAR what the other was saying, then give an informed response without resorting to the name-calling and finger-pointing so prevalent on the cable news networks. This is the kind of debate this country needs. I read this book at the same time as reading Graffin's PhD thesis, and together they've underscored the fact that my personal beliefs are much more in line with Graffin's than with Jones's. But, while I don't always understand Jones's opinions, I greatly respect him as a scholar and educator.
