Tags:Computing Research Watch List Am I reading it correctly? So Google is in Amazon’s business of selling books, or even better, fulltext of books. You get 20% preview, and unlimited access after you buy it?
Will Google come up with something better than Kindle? I hope not. I hope everything will be in PDF, but […]

Tags:Computing Research statistics Watch List mathStatica is perhaps the most comprehensive solution for mathematical statistics on Mathematica. At least that’s how they bill it. It does include additional distributions, improved distributional plots, and simplified ways to deal with moments, cumulants, etc.
Just look at this example … I am impressed.
