That's the sort of thing I was thinking of. I want a whole series of content from elementary to advanced.

I suppose what I'm calling for is LW to write a stats textbook with a LW angle on things.

Of course possibly the answer is that such books already exist and I should go read them instead of LW.

What would you call a LW angle on things in the context of a math textbook?

I'm not totally sure (I want to read the book!), but at the very least it'd have more real-world applications than the books on the subject I've looked at.
