Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"I recommend the book to everyone who is studying and fascinated by statistics."---Singalakha Menziwa, Mathemafrica
"Steven J. Miller’s The Probability Lifesaver presents, as its subtitle claims, 'all the tools you need to understand chance' in a clear, straightforward manner. . . . For the students that have a good understanding of Calculus, the combination of the probability discussions along with the calculus behind these topics is very beneficial." * MAA Reviews *
"The breadth of the book’s coverage and its clear, informal tone in addressing highly formal problems remind one of a friendly professor offering unlimited office hours, and the book will be a highly accessible supplement for students working through another, more conventional text. . . . [This is] a volume that deserves to be widely known in educational circles and will likely find its way to the shelves of practicing statisticians who wish to probe below the surface of fundamental theorems that they have learned by rote."---H. Van Dyke Parunak, Computing Reviews
