This classic book presents the basic principles of statistics in a concise graphic format. The Cartoon Guide to Statistics is in Larry Gonick’s much admired\u00a0Cartoon Guide Series<\/i><\/a>, covering a range of subjects from Calculus to Environmental Science.<\/p>

This Cartoon Guide covers nearly all the material in an AP Statistics course, or a first course in statistics at the college level. Also, graduate students, quantitative analysts and engineers have found the Cartoon Guide a handy review book.<\/p>

You will find an evaluation of “cartoon style” statistics books in a review published in\u00a0Chance Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>

The revised and updated edition is published in paperback and can be found at\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and other booksellers. The Cartoon Guide is also available as an\u00a0iBook from Apple<\/a>. Because of the cartoon-page layout the ebook is best viewed on a device with a larger screen,\u00a0i.e.<\/i>\u00a0a tablet, iPad or laptop.\u00a0The reader should note<\/b>\u00a0that the\u00a0Amazon Kindle version<\/a>\u00a0of the Cartoon Guide is the electronic version of the original Cartoon Guide, and\u00a0not<\/b>\u00a0the updated Cartoon Guide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
