HN comment orderBooks like these should be read by all mathematics/statistics students, not to get better at mathematics, but to see how the concepts they study in theory are relevant in practice.
I have to say, NIST dudes are/were so underappreciated by the likes of me. Is it just me? I was in a LUG in the DC area and one of the dudes there was a NIST guy. His use of Linux and Unix was not surprising, but when he would tangentially mention what they were doing with their boxes I would always wonder: how the hell do more people not pay attention to NIST? But maybe that is just me…
There's also the NRC's NUREG-1475, "Applying Statistics": https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1110/ML11102A076.pdf
