Recensione

'Jenny Baglivo's book and its Mathematica labs now make it easy to teach a modern course that better prepares students for contemporary statistical thinking and practice. That alone would be a major contribution to statistics education, but this book offers more: it is thoughtfully organized and unusually well-crafted. For example, theorems are given helpful descriptive names, and are often presented in ways that highlight parallel structure and make the big picture easier to see.' George W. Cobb, Mount Holyoke College

'I particularly value that the emphasis of the labs is on the statistical concepts and not on programming in Mathematica. The Mathematica tools and needed commands are carefully developed so that students with a minimal knowledge of the Mathematica environment can focus on the ideas while those who have more experience with Mathematica can utilize its power. This text is an important addition to materials for the post-calculus probability and statistics courses.' Adele Marie Rothan, College of St. Catherine

Descrizione del libro

This text is a concise introduction to probability theory and mathematical statistics. The accompanying in-class and take-home computer laboratory activities reinforce the techniques introduced in the text and are accessible to students with no experience with Mathematica. Applications are presented in various settings, including data from epidemiology, sciences and engineering.
