3 reviews
David E. Bock, Paul F. Velleman, ...

Addison Wesley, 2006

specially tailored for the AP
If you are teaching AP Statistics to a competent high school group, this book was written for you. Literally. It was written with the AP exam in mind. The second edition has even been changed largely with a view to reflecting the recent minor changes in that exam. So the authors' terminology, their practice exercises, their equations, and -- most importantly -- the range and depth they ...

Pearson Education/Addison Wesley, 2004

Not what I had hoped for
This solutions manual doesn't follow the text. Some of the problems are available but, many are not. The problems that are in the solutions manual are not always in the text and may be numbered differently. Not Happy

Self to Self: Selected Essays
J. David Velleman

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book brings together essays on personal identity, autonomy, and moral emotions by the distinguished philosopher J. David Velleman. Although each of the essays was written as an independent piece, they are unified by an encompassing thesis, that there is no single entity denoted by "the self," as well as by themes from Kantian ethics, psychoanalytic theory, social psychology, and Velleman's work in the philosophy of action. Two of the ...

Intro Stats (2nd Edition) (DeVeaux/Velleman/Bock)

Addison Wesley, 2005

An authoritative book written by master teachers
As a long-time professor of statistics with experience teaching introductory statistics to hundreds of students over many years, using many textbooks, I want to go on record that this is a wonderful book. The authors are hugely prepared, both as far as the statistical concepts and methods are concerned, but also with respect to instruction. They have learned what to do, and what not to do; they ...

2 reviews
Dan Velleman

The Mathematical Association of America, 1996

Excellent Book for anyone with time
The book has many intriguing problems that are sure to capture the minds of any mathematician. It also contains a very nice answer section. The only throwback is that most of the problems take significant thought and require some time to solve completely. However, the nice answer section takes care of the problem should you become obsessed with a problem you can't quickly solve, and the overall ...

Philosophies of Mathematics

3 reviews
Alexander George, Daniel J. Velleman

Wiley-Blackwell, 2001

Classic Stuff
This is a splendid book, teeming with virtues. But along with its many merits there is one drawback, which I'll mention later. First, the good stuff. Philosophies of Mathematics is primarily a textbook, designed to introduce logicism, intuitionism, and Hilbert's formalism to beginners at a moderately high level. It does this exceptionally well. The expositions are crisp and clear from start ...

Childhood Apraxia of Speech Resource Guide (Singular Resourse Guide Series)

1 review
Shelley Velleman

Singular, 2002

Great Book!
I purchased this book because my 28 month old son was not talking. The speech pathologist narrowed it down to apraxia but would not commit to the diagnosis. Needless to say we were very frustrated. After reading the 1st chapter I felt like a huge weight had been lifted - it described our son perfectly. This book is very technical, I think it is written for someone with a background in this ...
