The Cartoon Guide to Statistics
The Cartoon Guide to Statistics

Review:The book is funny and quite helpful - nice material for review purposes. BUT, its merely a supplement to formal statistics study. You must have some working knowledge of the basic concepts.
I recommend BUSINESS STATISTICS (By Ken Black). He explains the concepts quite extensively. This book coupled with the humor of the Cartoon Guide will make Statistics a little but more bearable (especially for non-math majors like me:) Read more

What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics - The Theoretical Minimum

Review:This little book is a wonderful compact introduction the methodology of analytical mechanics. While not new to me, I thoroughly enjoyed this review of the action principle, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of the equations of motion, symmetries and conservation laws, and Poisson brackets.
