Abstract:
|
For a variety of reasons, we chose Matlab for use in our first (two semester) sequence in probability and statistics. This has had several impacts on this course. Programming occurs naturally and in such a way that it encourages the students to customize their routines. However, the biggest impact has been on the topics that can be covered and how they are covered. This has impacted both confidence intervals and the use of order statistics in the course.
