In this classic of statistical mathematical theory, Harald Cramer joins the two major lines of development in the field: while British and American statisticians were developing the science of statistical inference, French and Russian probabilitists transformed the classical calculus of probability into a rigorous and pure mathematical theory. The result of Cramer's work is a masterly exposition of the mathematical methods of modern statistics that set the standard that others have since sought to follow. For anyone with a working knowledge of undergraduate mathematics the book is self cont

…enjoying the struggle through Statistical Inference by George Casella as a foundational text. This was the introductory text for stats graduate students at Arizona State University a few years back. The Mathematical Methods of Statistics by Harald Cramér is also excellent.
