I'm learning modern physics and my book starts out with teaching distribution functions, but not to well. I need an intro that is not afraid to use an integral, but yet does not breeze through it as fast as this physics book. The book wants to know distribution functions to learn about plank's discoveries. I have never taken statistics before but I do know calculus.

If you have a very very good link to a website to explain this stuff that's fine too.
