Teaching

I am the instructor of record for STAT 400 / DATA 400, Applied Probability and Statistics I, at the University of Maryland. Each course page carries the full semester schedule — homework and exam dates for the whole term, and each lecture's topic and notes as the class is taught — and the current course highlights the week we are in. Assignments, grades and announcements live on ELMS; this site is the live calendar and the notes.

Materials

The typed lecture notes for STAT 400 — 26 lectures, one PDF each plus a combined volume — follow Devore, Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences, 9th edition. For the course in session, the handwritten notes from each class go up in that lecture's row of the schedule once the class has been taught.
