Book Review : Kartun Statistik
Alhamdulillah I have finish this book. Well, I bought this book by accident. I was opening an e-commerce app, there was a promo at Gramedia online store. Then yea this book land on my home beautifully.
This book titled "Kartun Statistik" by Larry Gonick and Woollcott Smith. Originally written in English. But, mine is the Bahasa version. I'm not supposed to buy a math book, but I can't help the title. I was wondering about how could they wrap and explain statistics with cartoons.
"Interesting! ". As I go to the higher level of education, I learned the more advanced level of statistics. I struggle a lot to understand the concepts and formulas. Even at the end, I still find it won't last long in my head.
In this post, I would like to give a brief review for this book. Well, the book consists of 12 chapters in 224 pages. The book explain statistics from the very basic concept (e.g. What is statistics, data, mean, median) till the more advance concept like linear and non-linear regression.
Yes, everything has explained well with cartoon illustrations, story, jokes, and real life analogy and example. But every time I open this book, I got bored after reading for about 20 minutes. Its not the book, It is me. I got lost in some part that needs extra-attention like the complicated formula 😂
Then, I manage to finish this book by having a good mood before reading and take a few minutes reading. Having break and continue again if I want to 😂🙏
Honestly speaking, there's no regret buying this book. I found that this book helps me a lot to have a better understanding of the statistical concepts and when to apply them. In my opinion, this book is suits you if you want to refresh your mind with the concepts. If you're a beginner, this book may not for you since it doesn't have exercise to sharpen your understanding.
That's all from me. Thank you for reading this. I hope this post will give any insights for you. See you! ☺
