With the advent of a new field of engineering that is based on statistical learning models, and, called by varied names such as Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and so on, analysing and interpreting data using computer programs has become an essential skill that all students of all fields of study have to master. Probability and statistics combined with large data and computer programming is revolutionising many areas of study and is expected to lead to the birth of a new engineering discipline. Thus, in addition to being a good textbook for science (spceifically, physics) students, this can also be a nice supplementary text for other students (such as engineering) who are learning probability and statistics.
