Just wondering if anyone can recommend and statistics/probability books for me to read? Context is, I’m a 2nd year maths student and with a strong background in calc, lin algebra, analysis and physics-y type modules. Unfortunately I haven’t really done any prob/stats at all as I changed from a joint honours maths and physics to straight maths and it wasn’t covered in any detail last year. I’m really looking for something to dip my toes in every now and again as I don’t really have time until mid December to get heavily involved in. If anyone has a suggestion in the same style as ODEs by Tenenbaum and Pollard, that’d be great – really enjoyed that book.
Cheers!

I highly suggest Grimmett and Walsh, Probability - An Introduction
