This book is based on my lectures of a two-semester Statistics course and my experiences in teaching a two-semester Psychology Neuroscience lab for two decades. In such a situation I was forced to teach elementary and advanced Statistics as it relates to real life, i.e., experimental science. Judging from the fact that my students went on to such schools as Princeton, Yale, Karolinska, Harvard, MIT, I should say that was a successful course.

This book is the easiest Statistics book while it goes much farther into advanced statistical analysis than most introductory books. It will be useful to college students and researchers.

As someone who suffered terribly through a mandatory probability and statistics class in college, I am pleasantly surprised to find a new instructional book in statistics that actually promises to be a fun and entertaining read. Michael Nikoletseas has written precisely such a book here. He teaches statistics by walking the reader through real life anecdote after real life anecdote to which he applies principles of statistics. He thus makes the arcane eminently relatable for the lay reader. Where was this book when I was in college? If your schooling or work includes working with statistics, do yourself a favor and buy this book.
