STAB22: text and software

Link to Course text. You are responsible for learning enough from the lectures and text to be able to do the problems in the text; therefore, you do need a textbook and you do need to read it. We're aiming to cover Chapters 1 through 26.

A copy of the text and student solutions manual are, or will soon be, on course reserve at the library.

The heavy calculations in the course are done with StatCrunch software; we will show you how this is used. This software is entirely web-based: all you need is a Java-enabled browser. Any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) can be used. StatCrunch is well worth the (small) effort to learn; it will enable you to analyze larger data sets and give you a more comprehensive understanding of what we are doing.
