Probability Theory: The Logic of Science

They were not textbooks for any course. But I liked these: 1. Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning by George Pólya 2. Probability Theory: The Logic of Science by E.T. Jaynes

Computer science: Knuth's TAOCP. And Sipser's Introduction to the Theory of Computation. Programming: SICP, K&R, and Stroustrup. Siebel's Practical common lisp. Artificial intelligence: AI a modern approach. Signals and Systems: Oppenheim's book Probability and statistics: Probability Theory: The Logic of Science by Jaynes

Probability Theory: The Logic of Science by E. T. Jaynes.

Probability Theory: The Logic of Science by E. T. Jaynes I was doing a post-grad degree in biomedical engineering and that book set me on a path to become a statistician -- exclusively Bayesian at the start, but now well-versed in all sorts of approaches. (Still prefer Bayes, but I'm only dogmatic about it in theory, not in practice.)
