I'm an undergraduate software engineering student and I will be taking a statistics course in this semester. I was thinking of buying a statistics textbook such as Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists by Jay Devore, then I came across with some statistics books for programmers and data scientists.
1-) Think Stats: Probability and Statistics for Programmers
2-) Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics in Python
3-) Practical Statistics for Data Scientists: 50+ Essential Concepts
