Think Stats: Probability and Statistics for Programmers by Allen B. Downey
From the website:
Think Stats is an introduction to Probability and Statistics for Python programmers.
If you have basic skills in Python, you can use them to learn concepts in probability and statistics. This new book emphasizes simple techniques you can use to explore real data sets and answer interesting statistical questions.
Important no only for data set exploration, preparatory to building topic maps but also for evaluating the statistics offered by others.
Recalling that figures don’t lie but all liars can figure.
