BoingBoing reports that thanks to the American Mathematical Society, Dartmouth (a US college) are giving away the statistics text book “Introduction to Probabilty” by Grinstead and Laurie Snell as free etext.
The textbook is a useful resource for anybody with a reasonable grounding in statistics and probability who wants to start to understand more formally how things work and how to test them. The authors stress the use of computers to simulate experiments and several programs are available to download. The book is published using GNU Free Document License (FDL), which put simply means that you can use it for anything you like as long as what you do does not prevent others from using it freely.
