With Statistics: A Gentle Introduction, Third Edition, an introductory stats class needn't be difficult or dull! Frederick L. Coolidge specifically designed his text to curtail students' anxieties and minimize unnecessary formulas, while providing a comprehensive review of basic statistical designs and analyses. A wealth of additional real-world examples have been included to give a sense of how the science of statistics works, solves problems, and helps us make informed choices about the world we live in. The author minimizes the use of formulas, but provides a step-by-step approach to their solution, and includes a glossary of key terms, symbols, and definitions at the end of each chapter. Every chapter also includes a short story about historical and contemporary statisticians who figured prominently in the evolution of the discipline of statistics. New to the Third Edition is the thorough incorporation of SPSS throughout, more visual material and figures, and an enhanced treatment of effect sizes, and more detailed explanation of statistical concepts.

Product description

Review

”The approach is ‘right on’–making statistics approachable and learnable, rather than a barrier to a student’s further education.” -- Gerry Dizinno Published On: 2011-11-02

“Coolidge makes understanding statistics a fairly simple task, with clear examples, anecdotes, and analogies.” -- Evita G. Bynum Published On: 2011-11-02

“It is a very engaging book which incorporates humor along with clear presentation of statistical concepts. It is not as intimidating as some other texts. It incorporates research methods concepts skillfully.” -- Naureen Bhullar Published On: 2011-11-02

“The author provides practical application of statistics to real problems to be solved.” -- Karen H. Frith Published On: 2011-11-02

“I believe tone and more elementary explanations are what makes this text a very good tool especially for students who are required to take statistics but not anxious to take statistics.” -- Marcia Ditmyer Published On: 2011-11-02

“I think the author did a great job for updating his textbook. I believe that the last edition was a fairly friendly textbook for students in undergraduate introductory statistics, but the update makes this textbook even friendlier.” -- Hisanori Kobayashi Published On: 2011-11-02

“I like the conversational writing style and fascinating examples. The background information about important figures in the history and development of statistics separates this text from most others. The SPSS instructions are clear and easy to follow and the interpretation of the SPSS output is excellent.” -- Marilyn Gibbons-Arhelger Published On: 2011-11-02

5.0 out of 5 stars Even if you're not good at math!

This is a scholarly statistics book that lays out the topic in such a step-by-step method, anyone can grasp the concept. If statistics terrified you, like it did me, then this is the book for you! Dr. Coolidge very clearly explains the subjects so even those who are not great at math can understand and be solid in statistics.

Exactly what I needed for my Nursing Statistics class. Came in great condition. I have been using it all semester and it still looks almost new. I had the ISBN 978-1-5063-6843-6 and it was the 4th edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Scientists
Reviewed in the United States on 10 February 2013
Verified Purchase
Frederick Coolidge has approached this difficult subject with the student in mind, but even practicing scientists would do well to reference this book...lest they make mistakes in interpreting their own statistical work. Alas, that happens all too frequently and continues to embarrass psychology. The next time you prepare your work for publication, please review "Statistics: A Gentle Introduction" and ensure your conclusions are supported "by the math."
