Latest information:
- The final exam will be on Saturday, May 14 from from 2-5 in RLM 6.122.
- The normal (Gaussian) and Poisson approximations to the binomial distribution are demonstrated here. If we fix p and repeat the experiment of flipping n coins with probability p many times, the histogram of the number of successes approaches the normal curve. This is shown here. (It also happens to be a nice demonstration of what is known as a `random walk,' a probabilistic model that is used in a variety of contexts.)
- Grades for homeworks and exams are available through the UT Academic Blackboard.
- Office hours have been changed to T 2-3, W 10:30-11:30.
