Resumen del Libro

A refreshing aspect of Gossets letters is that they reveal his likable and modest character: he describes his own contribution to the 1914-18 war as to brew Guinness stout in such a way as to waste as little labour and material as possible. Similarly, his dislike of controversy is illustrated in his letters written at the time of publication of Fishers Statistical methods for research workers, but which still serve to show Gossets own strong views on the book.
