    Extractions: Overview The Department of Statistics and Applied Probability (DSAP) is one of the strongest academic units in the Faculty of Science, National University of Singapore. The Department was established in 1998 with the goals to advance statistical science, and, ultimately by its application, to improve and provide adequate services to our community. To achieve these goals, the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability offers training and research programs to develop and apply innovative statistical methods to problems of economics, finance, banking business, insurance, marketing research, engineering, human health and disease, including basic biomedical sciences. Biostatistics Initiative Faculty Members The Department has nearly 30 faculty members. The faculty members play a prominent role in statistics methodological research; and faculty are also very active in statistical consulting and in collaborative research, including having leadership roles in several large multidisciplinary applied research projects. Faculty Activities Students Enrollment and Support The graduate enrollment is steadily increasing, with over 35 students enrolled in a given year. Among these, close to a half would like to enroll in Biostatistics. In addition, there are around 760 students in its undergraduate statistics program every year. We anticipate up to thirty students will be enrolled in our biostatistics program. Financial support for graduate students is available, which comes mainly through the university scholarships.

    Extractions: Creating a Community of Mathematics Learners Probability Lesson plans: The Cereal Box Problem: A Lesson in Expected Value The main problem is this: Suppose there was one of six prizes inside your favorite box of cereal. Perhaps it's a pen, a plastic movie character, or a picture card. How many boxes of cereal would you expect to have to buy, to get all six prizes? This is an exceptional area with lots of recommendations and further discussion questions for the teacher. Less glitzy than the previous, this lesson, established for grades 6-8, includes warm up activities and suggestions on how to have students work in groups. Indianapolis 500 Involves using the internet to research Indy 500 records. Make students analyze the data they've found using mean, median, and computing speeds from distance and time. Rock, scissors, paper - is it fair? Have students determine whether the game ``Rock, scissors, paper'' is a fair game (i.e. does one person have an advantage?).

56. Review: Exploring Probability And Statistics With Spreadsheets
    Exploring probability and statistics with Spreadsheets by JT Callender R Jackson. Reviewed by Anne Hawkins RSS Centre for Statistical Education.  
    http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/cti/activities/reviews/97_05/exploring_with_spreadshe
    
    Extractions: Specific comments on chapters: Data presentation and description Probability Central Limit Theorem Confidence Intervals ... Analytical techniques The authors assert that this book is intended to be 'an introductory text for students of engineering, science, and business studies who may not have any prior knowledge of probability and statistics and whose mathematical competencies may be restricted to a one semester course on algebra and calculus'. The content of the book is reasonably aligned to the needs of such (non-specialist) students, although the examples show a bias towards production processes, and hence will favour engineering students. Callender and Jackson reject the use of dedicated statistical software packages for teaching statistics on the grounds that, with them, 'the analysis is semi-automatic' whereas 'with spreadsheets this is not the case; the user has to set up the analysis', and the 'easy to use graphical facilities are an excellent aid to learning, giving an intuitive grasp of difficult concepts'. They also argue that 'the use of spreadsheets is widely recognised as a professional communication skill in science, engineering and business', and that therefore their use in the teaching of statistics to such non-specialists is justified.

    Extractions: Introduction Data handling Charts Functions ... Supplier Info In recent months there has been a great deal of discussion on the Allstat e-mail list regarding the use of spreadsheets for statistical analysis. This article seeks to review the capabilities of Excel 5.0 in the context of statistical education. It concludes that although Excel has a great deal to offer at the elementary level, it is of limited use to serious students of the subject. Possibly the most compelling reason for using Excel for statistical work is the ease with which data can be entered and manipulated. Data is easily imported from other applications (Lotus 123, Quattro pro, dBase) and from ASCII text files using the Text Wizard - a series of dialog boxes allowing you to choose the format in which data is stored on the worksheet, with very few restrictions. If data is entered from the keyboard in a recognisable sequence, the sequence can be extended simply by dragging the range. Days (Monday, Tuesday, ...), dates (01/10/96, 08/10/96, ...) and labels (Car1, Car2, ...) are all recognised, but not number patterns (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, ...). Excel is particularly good at handling list data, laid out in columns with headers (e.g. Age, Sex, Height, ...), such as may result from a student survey. Once the headers are entered, a Data Form is automatically created to allow records to be entered, edited, and searched. A Data Filter can be used to hide all data not satisfying certain criteria, allowing the student to focus on particular subsets (e.g. males over 30). Unfortunately it is not possible to calculate functions just on the filtered data, a drawback of what is otherwise a delightful feature. Another excellent feature is the Pivot Table Wizard for creating cross-tabulations (see

    Extractions: LABORATORY OF PROBABILITY THEORY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS The laboratory was founded in 1961 by Aleksandr Alekseyevich Borovkov, now full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but then still a young scientist, pupil of Academician A.N. Kolmogorov who had recommended the recent PhD to S.L.Sobolev for work in the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the Academy. Since then A.A. Borovkov is the permanent leader and organizer of a scientific team which constitutes a probabilistic school well known in the scientific world. At present, there work in the laboratory the Doctors of Sciences I.S. Borisov, S.G. Foss, B.I. Lotov, A.A. Mogul'skii, A.I. Sakhanenko, S.A. Utev, V.V. Yurinskii, the PhD's D.A. Korshunov, M.S. Sgibnev. Almost all of them are pupils of the Siberian School. At different times, there worked in the laboratory the Doctors of Sciences S.V. Nagaev, B.A. Rogozin, the PhD L.Ya. Savel'ev. Pupils of this team now work in many other scientific centers in Russia and abroad. The main activities of the laboratory refer to the following fundamental areas of research in probability theory and mathematical statistics: limit theorems and their refinements, including convergence in multidimensional spaces;

    Extractions: A collection of over 100 co-operative problems in mathematics for groups of 2-6 students. The problems, covering a wide range of maths topics at various levels of difficulty, are indexed by maths content and grade level. Six clue cards provide the information needed to solve a problem but since each member of the group has a different piece of information everyone has to work together to arrive at a solution. All of the activities in this book have been successfully trialled throughout the primary age range with special emphasis in the lower primary classroom. Reproducible activities start from 'getting to know' and progress through digit games and investigations which develop: ideas of order and place value, children's facility with numbers, ideas and use of patterns, flexibility with numbers and skills in operations, the encouragement to persevere with a challenge.

    Extractions: Six activities about the earth, moon, and stars help students learn about astronomy and answer questions like: If the earth is a ball, why does it look flat? Why does the moon change its shape? How can I find constellations and tell the time by the stars? Activities include observing and recording changes in the sky and creating models to explain observations. Students observe and record the pulse rates of earthworms. They experiment to discover the responses of earthworms to different temperatures, and graph the results. In discussing why earthworms respond as they do, students learn about 'cold-blooded' animals, and the concept of adaptation. A background section is included.
