About the Author

Raymond H Myers is currently Professor Emeritus of statistics at Virginia Tech. He received his Masters and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in statistics and his BS in chemical engineering. His major areas of interest are linear models, design of experiments, and response surface methodology. He has authored or co-authored six statistics texts that were published in fifteen separate editions and in several foreign languages.

He has received numerous teaching awards and in 1985 he was selected “Professor of the Year” in the state of Virginia by the Council on the Advancement and Support of Education. He was elected Fellow of ASA in 1974. In 1999 he was given the Shewhart Award for lifetime contributions in statistics and quality control by the American Society of Quality.

Sharon L Myers

Good Text for Intended Audience

Reviewed in the United States on 18 July 2011

I am an undergraduate Engineering student and used this text in a 300-level Engineering Statistics and Modeling course. The authors obviously expect that students have a background in basic differential and integral calculus, as well as basic statistics, prior to beginning this text. Without such a background, the text, formulae, and derivations can be a challenge.

However, the chapters read fairly well, and are presented in a logical flow of material. The descriptions of most methods and topics covered provide sufficient detail and scope, and there are a wealth of fully solved examples, which include plenty of detail in intermediate steps, and are of assistance for the vast majority of the exercises. Although the text has a few shortcomings in preparing students to use statistical methods to test hypotheses, any lecture course should more than adequately fill these gaps. Compared to the bulk of engineering and mathematics texts I have used in my undergraduate career, this is certainly one of the better ones in terms of its editorial quality, scope, and most importantly, accessibility to students.

Overall, I would recommend this text to engineering students with some prior experience in calculus and basic (even high school level) statistics. The Student Solutions Manual Student Solutions Manual for Probability & Statistics for Engineers & Scientists is helpful, as it provides the actual solutions rather than only the answers which appear in the appendix, and the solutions are of a relatively good quality. However, the solutions manual skips numerous problems (only a few of each variety, instead of odds or etc) making it of less utility than expected.

This is an update of a much-liked and often-used textbook on basic to intermediate statistics.

Statistics is much like a hammer: Once you have it, you tend to believe that everything can benefit from analysis. The two features I most appreciate in this new edition relative to the edition I used in graduate school many years ago are:

1. The previous edition was basically just a cookbook of statistical recipes. The new edition gives clear, easily understood reasons for using statistics in general and for choosing a particular technique.

2. The new edition is connects statistical theory with some of the new statistical software available, some commercial and some free, that can greatly reduce the computational burden on the user and errors.

In additon, about half the many problems in the text have answers, and each section has several worked examples or demonstrations of use.

These features require space to provide; the new edition is about twice as long as the old one, and the pages are taller and wider. One is free to view this fact as more verbiage to wade through or more pearls at his or her feet.

Bad binding, good book.

Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2017

Verified Purchase

Using this book was a good replacement for my actual stats professor. Very easy to follow and the applied problems for engineering are easy to follow.

Cons: I know it's a used book, but me and another class mate of mine had issues with the binding coming loose. The table section at the end of my book is no longer attached (which was convienent for the class ironically).

If you can get your hands on a well-cared for version then this would be a solid stats book for Chem E.

Have started reading AND love how the book shares info.

This book is of a large size, the hard cover makes it easier to read and take notes in. The larger margins allow note taking also. The information is written using explanations that allow understanding of the math being shared as well as the formulas for the work. Instead of being a heavy math book, it allows the math to be understood practically as well as how the statistics and probability methods impact business, science, engineering, health, and other experiments that could result in conclusions OR solutions with quality care and work.
