Intro Stats by David E. Bock, Paul F. Velleman, Richard Deveaux (2005, Package)

This textbook was used in my Intro to Statistics class and I was quite surprised with it. I am not usually a mathematical thinker so I was absolutely dreading the class. Most math textbooks offer only examples in explanation of the concepts, but this text goes beyond the examples. It features actual written chapters to throughly explain the concepts you are learning and the reasoning behind them. The author even has a subtle sense of humor you can detect in the tone of his writing. I thought the exercises offered were helpful and actually applicable in a real-world setting. Answers are provided for odd numbered problems as well, which is VERY helpful. I must say this is the best math textbook I have ever owned and would recommend it to anyone.
