Math 211 meets from 12:30 to 1:35 Monday through Thursday, in room 2723. Class information for the class is available on Blackboard. Go to https://shoreline.blackboard.com/.Here is some information so you can be ready when classes start:Abbreviated syllabus -- includes the first assignment from the textbook. I will hand this out on the first day of classes. The complete syllabus is available on Blackboard. Greek Alphabet Assignment -- due Monday September 26th. What do you need to buy?Text: Intro Stats, by DeVeaux, Velleman, and Bock, Third Edition. This book has a VW Beetle driving on the edge of a map on its cover. We will cover most of Chapters 1 through 25. This textbook is required. You may also find the Textbook Site useful. Note -- we will NOT be using MyStatLab. The Student’s Solutions Manual contains more detailed solutions for the odd-numbered exercises in the textbook. You may find this helpful, but it is not required. I will never refer to this book in class. Calculator: You must have a TI-83 or TI-84 (any version such as Plus or Silver edition is fine) graphing calculator for this class. These have all the statistical capabilities built in, and we’ll be learning how to use them during class. Other graphing calculators, including the TI-82, TI-85. TI-86 and the TI-89, cannot do what we need. If you do not want to buy one, you can rent a TI-83+ in the Shoreline Community College Bookstore for about $25 for the quarter. You do have to hurry if you want to rent one; there is a limited supply. You will be expected to use your calculator for all the statistical calculations in this course. Incidentals: You will need a few sheets of graph paper, a ruler, set of dice, a couple of bags of candy, and other inexpensive items whose cost should not exceed about $20 for the quarter. |
