Review title: Terrific introduction to the subject
Product review: I bought this book in desperation. While taking the core finance course in the MBA program at the University of Michigan b-school I realized that I should have taken the core statistics course FIRST. But I hadn't and as certain concepts were introduced I realized that I had no background that would help me understand the topic.So, I found this book and spent two weeks studying it so I could understand what was going on and then spent the rest of the term trying to catch up.This is a very good introduction to the most basic ideas. I think it would be a great book for a junior or senior in high school who had a good math background and wanted to get a grounding in statistics. Or a college level person like me without a background and needing to get up to speed in a hurry.My thanks to Patricia Elmore and Paula Woehlk for the help!
