9;30-10:30 and 12:30-2:00. I may not be in my office at all
times -- look around the math dept for me.
Course structure: These two courses will be conducted simultaneously, though the
801 students will get one more lecture hour per week at a time
to be determined. Graduate students will get somewhat different
assignments and a different final exam. The midterm exam will be
common to the two groups.
Computing requirements: There will be a computational component to this course; details have yet to be determined. Graduate students will be required to do graphing and programming in S. THERE ARE NO JOBS FOR STATISTICIANS WHO CAN'T DO THE COMPUTING.
Grading: Assignments 20%, Midterm 20% and Final 60%. If you get a better mark on the final than on the midterm I will replace the midterm with the final. If you miss the midterm I will use the final in its place; there will be no make-up midterms.
Privacy Policy: The Math and Stat department has a policy on privacy under which students who desire so may have their homework returned in some private way; if you are such a student you should speak to me immediately.
Assignments: You may miss one with no penalty.
If you miss fewer I will drop your lowest assignment mark.
I will be
looking for well written explanations in answers since no one is interested
in unexplained calculations in the real world.

A final from 1991. Most of the material on this old final would not be suitable for this course.
