Wow! While checking in today in circulation, I saw this:
THE MANGA GUIDE TO STATISTICS!! Of course, I had to read more — and it’s amazing! Think you can't have fun learning statistics? Think again.
Here’s the storyline: In The Manga Guide to Statistics, the heroine Rui is determined to learn about statistics to impress the dreamy Mr. Igarashi and begs her father for a tutor. Soon she's spending her Saturdays with geeky, bespectacled Mr.Yamamoto, who patiently teaches her all about the fundamentals of statistics: topics like data categorization, averages, graphing, and standard deviation.
Reluctant statistics students of all ages will enjoy learning along with Rui in this charming, easy-to-read guide, which uses real-world examples like teen magazine quizzes, bowling games, test scores, and ramen noodle prices. Examples, exercises, and answer keys help you follow along and check your work. An appendix showing how to perform statistics calculations in Microsoft Excel makes it easy to put Rui's lessons into practice.
What a fascinating concept from Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo ~ presenting Statistics using manga characters and art. Where was this book xx years ago when I was struggling with Stats?
You can find this in the Young Adult room, Y 519.5 TAKAHAS ~ it’s on the shelf already!
