道恩·格里菲思(Dawn Griffiths)以数学家的身份在一所顶尖英国大学开始读书生活,曾获得数学专业一级荣誉学位。可是,当她意识到人们在聚会上不愿意与她谈话时,就拒绝了一份研究极为罕见的微分方程的博士奖学金,转而从事软件开发事业。目前她将IT咨询、写作及数学集于一身。
当道恩不写深入浅出系列图书的时候,你会看到她在打太极拳、织梭结花边或在烹饪美食 — 她还没有修炼出一心三用的绝技。旅行以及和她深爱的丈夫大卫在一起消磨时光也让她十分享受。
道恩有一个猜测 —《深入浅出梭结花边》有可能会很火爆,可她怀疑布雷特(Brett)和劳里(Laurie)不会同意。
读到200多页已经发现5个错误了。 P228练习,问题是餐厅将糕饼价格提高1美元,解答就变成了提高0.5美元。 P244动动笔,你本身有500美元,下注输了,收益是-500,赢了给你3500,那收益当然是3000而不是3500,哪里的赌场赢了还给你返还本金呢? P249动动笔,问题没有描述马匹数量...
评分从来不知道统计学与我何干。但是在《把时间当做朋友》一书中,李笑来老师说,一生学会统计学绝不后悔。于是我于2016年左右购买了大学统计学,打算自学。学得昏天黑地。放弃。最近又看《把时间当做朋友》。又下决心学统计学。前面那本统计学书也没了。偶然找到《深入浅出统计学...
评分本科时上过统计和测量的课,还有spss,stata这些课程,考研时专业课里也有教育统计,但我觉得到看这本书之前都没有学明白统计的一些基本概念。之前的学习方式都是从干巴巴的概念入手,加以枯燥的题目训练,本科的时候不知道学这些有什么用,后来也是想起来头就痛。 这本书非常...
评分优点: (1)此书比较通俗易懂,适合非专业人士的统计学入门; (2)书中的很多案例和习题比较好,能从简单的角度阐述复杂的概率统计的理论知识; (3)本书比较内容相对连贯,读下去一气呵成 缺点: (1)有少许印刷错误
评分吞不太认同这种毁书的阅读方式,可这个厚度真不合适地铁,撕开后还是很有成果的,新问题是如何装订回去? 正题:均值是发生了的期望的话,方差计算的一致性就可以解释了,现在再开始几何分布的期望速算方式就好理解点儿了,这次是要feel几何分布的方式不是推理
好啰嗦,看了一遍记不住但是不想看第二遍
