This course is designed to introduce statistics to students of
business, management and other areas. In light of it's introductory nature students will be
introduced to data exploration, both numerically and graphically, data
analysis by computational as well as conceptual means, experimental design and statistical inference.
It is highly recommended that you have a TI-89 calculator or atleast a
TI-83 plus for this class. It will aid in making calculations and
statistical analysis setup easy, which will allow for a more in depth
study of the concepts discussed in class. These calculators are not
inexpensive, but realize that you will be able to use them in other
classes, (math sciences, business, engineering, etc.)
as well. As an additional cost cutting measure, below are links to other
sources, besides our local bookstores, that will in most cases give you a
better price.
