Summary: Good for practitioners, but not for statistician
Comment: This book describes formulas and list of applications, but it don't give more accurate statistical reasons. I get how to use the formulas, but i think i am more interested in how to get the formulas

Rating: 1
Summary: Worst Textbook Ever
Comment: I don't want to say hard words, but this is really a completely USELESS book. It says nothing but only presenting tons of lengthy, non-understandable formulas, without a single explanation. Why would people need such a JUNK book?

There are people that need it. It is a prescribed textbook for Society of Actuary course 4 exam. Other than those guys taking this exam, DON'T TOUCH THIS BOOK.

P.S.: Many of those formulas in the books are wrong.

Rating: 2
Summary: Almost Unreadable
Comment: Murphy's Law of College Textbooks: When an author prepares a textbook on a topic he doesn't understand thoroughly, his work will only be understood by those readers who understand more about the topic than the writer . . . thus defeating the prime purpose of writing, which is to inform those who understand less about the topic than the writer.

The above statement applies to this textbook more than to any other that I have ever read in my life. Each chapter reduces to nothing more than an inscrutable collection of formulas. The authors do not provide even the slightest beginning of an insight to a student attempting to learn the material from this text.
