You are clearly looking for an introductory text; otherwise your question would have been more specific. Since one of your groups is a math group, I conclude, rightly or wrongly, that you desire a mathematical treatment. You must be studying alone, or you would not need advice from the internet. You may be a mathematical genius, but the odds are that you are not. I therefore recommend,
_Probability and Statistics_ By Morris DeGroot It's a fine introductory text with underlying math, that is reasonably easy to read without instruction. It's not the most elegant treatment, nor is it the most intense. It is, however, a very good leg up IMHO.
