This introductory course in statistics is specifically tailored for undergraduate students. While there is a multitude of statistics textbooks available in the market, it is quite common for them to either be pitched at a level that is excessively advanced or excessively basic, making them challenging for most undergraduate students to comprehend. Many of these textbooks incorporate calculus and are intended for graduate students pursuing technical fields. Conversely, others offer black box formulas without providing any underlying derivations. Our textbook takes a different approach by focusing on deriving all concepts from fundamental principles, without the use of calculus or linear algebra. It is crucial for students to have a deep understanding of the rationale behind their actions. Without this understanding, students may struggle to differentiate between meaningless results and significant findings.

Our textbook is designed to be concise and easily accessible, ensuring that students can grasp the key concepts quickly. By prioritizing clarity and simplicity, we aim to provide a solid foundation in statistics that will serve as a valuable asset to students throughout their academic journey.
