Intended for students of Mathematics taking their first course in Statistics, the focus is on Statistics for Mathematicians rather than on Mathematical Statistics. The goal is not to focus on the mathematical/theoretical aspects of the subject, but rather to provide an introdu…

It is a book on “Statistics for Mathematicians” rather than on “Mathematical Statistics”: the intent is not to focus on the deeper mathematical/theoretical aspects of the subject but rather to provide an intro…
