Overdue Review – The Manga Guide to Statistics
Before I start this review I have to apologize to the publisher and the author for taking so long to write this review.? When I agreed to do the review, I thought I had plenty of free time to complete it in a timely manner, and I soon learned otherwise.
With that that said, here is my review.
The Manga Guide to Statistics
Written by: Shin Takahashi and Trend-Pro, Co., LTD.
Publisher: No Starch Press (November 28, 2008)
Overall I really liked this book.? The art was well done and the underlying plot to make the book flow was interesting if not new.? I think the author did a great job of trying to make the examples in the book as real world as possible so that the concepts would be easy to understand.? It has been a long time since I have had taken any classes in statistics (or classes at all for that matter) , so I have to admit that after a while the math just made my head hurt.? When I started seeing some of those more complicated equations, I started having flashbacks to all those calculus classes I had in college, and I had to put the book down and take a nap.
If you know of someone that has to seriously learn this material however, I have a feeling that this book is just what they are looking for if they are having trouble.
