An adventure in statistics : the reality enigma
Field, Andy P.2022
Books
Andy Field offers a better way to learn statistics. It combines rock-solid statistics coverage with visual storytelling to address the conceptual difficulties that students learning statistics for the first time often encounter in introductory courses. Students are guided away from rote memorisation towards independent, critical thinking and problem solving. This foundation to understanding statistics is woven into the action-packed story of Zach, who thinks, processes information and faces challenges to his understanding in the same way as a statistics novice. Illustrated with stunning, graphic novel-style art and featuring Socratic dialogue, the story captivates readers as it introduces them to concepts, eliminating potential statistics anxiety. No previous statistics knowledge is presumed, and no use of data analysis software is required.
