{\bf Text and Syllabus:} {\it Introductory Probability and Statistical Applications },
2nd ed. Meyer, Addison Wesley
\vskip.5truecm
(This will be published by the University Co-op; the original text is
out of print.)
\vskip.5truecm
Syllabus: Parts of Chapters I-XIV.( Exactly which
sections will be covered, depends on how quickly we progress, etc.)
\vskip1cm
{\bf Prerequisites:} M408C,D or M808A,B including {\it infinite series,
partial derivatives,
double integrals.}
\vskip 1truecm
{\bf Exams:} We will have exams on 10/3 (class 10; Tues.),
11/7 (class 20; Tues.),
12/5 (Class 27; Tues.) No ``Final exam" (subject to Dept. approval.).
* Exam grades will be scaled (if the unscaled average is $\leq 75$) to
some value in the
$75$ to $80$ range.
{\bf ** Makeups will be given very reluctantly.}
\vskip 1cm
{\bf Homework:} Homework problems will be assigned each Tuesday in class and
will be due the next Tuesday.
A serious effort should be made on these
exercises. It will probably be difficult to completely learn the
course material without working problems; also exam questions may bear
some resemblance to homework exercises. Additionally, {\it all homework
together
will be counted as a grade equivalent to one exam grade.}
\vskip 1cm
{\bf Final Grades:} In computing a final grade, I will
count the three tests (the Final is one of them) and one total homework grade
equally.
(So there
will be {\bf four} grades to average.)
