Statistics for the Terrified

Learning statistics is a perennial problem for students and research workers from non-mathematical backgrounds. Most simply want to be able to apply statistics in their chosen field. By approaching it as a tool to be used rather than an academic discipline, a higher degree of understanding and flexibility can be achieved. 

Much of this can be attained through repeated, varied and directed observation, which can be accomplished by turning the learning of statistics into a game.

Statistics for the Terrified provides a thorough grounding in undergraduate and research statistics for the non-mathematician, and can be used by others who wish to acquire a good working knowledge of statistics. The program is widely used in colleges and universities, and this latest, enhanced version is now available for the first time on CD-ROM for individual use.

Statistics for the Terrified incorporates a series of computerised challenges and games which the user plays by changing the data. This is a radical departure in statistics teaching, where data is typically sacred and immutable. This interactive approach involves you directly. By displaying simple graphical representations, the results of interactivity become clear and you gain a genuine understanding.
