This textbook provides an introduction to statistics for computer users or computer science undergraduates. The main emphasis here is on how to use the computer to understand statistics and to facilitate statistical computation. Since the Stress is on the basic concepts, the mathematics is kept as simple as possible. Programming exercises are included in every chapter which can be run on any present-day microcomputer. This book provides a prerequisite for more complicated statistical procedures or individual special applications.
