Book Description

0412253402 978-0412253409 June 2, 1983 1
One of the most popular introductory texts in its field, Statistics for Technology: A Course in Applied Studies presents the range of statistical methods commonly used in science, social science, and engineering.
The mathematics are simple and straightforward; statistical concepts are explained carefully; and real-life (rather than contrived) examples are used throughout the chapters.
Divided into three parts, the Introduction describes some simple methods of summarizing data. Theory examines the basic concepts and theory of statistics. Applications covers the planning and procedures of experiments, quality control, and life testing.
Revised throughout, this Third Edition places a higher priority on the role of computers in analysis, and many new references have been incorporated. A new appendix describes general methods of tackling statistical problems, including guidance on literature searching and report writing.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The book will appeal not only to technologists requiring an introduction to statistics, but to lecturers in applied statistics and those running statistical 'service' courses for other disciplines. The industrial statistician will also find material useful in his dealings with engineers and technologists.
-Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

5.0 out of 5 stars great statistics book, June 23, 2007
By 
tech book guy (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Statistics for Technology : A Course in Applied Statistics (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science) (Paperback)
I must have 50 books on statistics in my collection at all levels and this book is one of the best.
If you have some background in calculus and want a concise and well-written introduction to applied
statistics this is a must have book. After reading this book, you will begin to doubt the standard textbook
paradigm of 1000 page glossy stats books containing one million problems along with cd rom and associated
website.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly great book, November 16, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics for Technology : A Course in Applied Statistics (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science) (Paperback)
I'm not a mathematician or statistician - just a lowly engineer - but I've compiled quite a library of math and stats book over the years and for my money I haven't seen a basic statistics book that even comes close to this classic from 1983. Chatfield not only knows his subject but knows how to present the concepts clearly and demonstrate their application with interesting and relevant examples. And he writes amazingly well - so well that it may actually startle you if, like me, you've spent many painful hours stumbling through the prose wasteland of most math/stats books. Too bad those expert in the language of mathematics so often exhibit English language skills somewhere between "abysmal" and "pathetic" - fortunately Chatfield's book is a shining counterexample.
