AMS 007 - Fall 2009
-
Announcements:
- (23 Sep 2009) Instructor: David Draper (office BE 135); telephone 459-1295; email draper@ams.ucsc.edu (I'll do my best, but due to the volume of email I receive, I can't guarantee quick response to any message you send; please put AMS 7 student in the subject line of any email message to me).
- (30 Sep 2009) WebCT is up and running for AMS 7 -- you can get there through MyUCSC or by going directly to the WebCT portal (your login name and password are the same as the ones you use for UCSC email). You can use this site to check your grades in the class.
- (6 Oct 2009) The office hours in this class (which will be held in Jack's Lounge, at the whiteboards on the ground floor of Baskin Engineering) are as follows (DD = David Draper, VP = Valerie Poynor, JW = Josh Wilcox; note: DD office hours changed, to give you more help on the homework): Mon 9-10am (JW), Mon 11am-noon (VP), Mo noon-1pm (DD), Tu 11am-noon (VP), Wed 3-4pm (JW), Wed 4-5pm (DD).
- (6 Nov 2009) There was some confusion about who would be teaching the Thursday 11am lab slot, and as a result it did not get taught for two weeks running. We apologize for the inconvenience; the problem has now been sorted out, and the Thursday 11am labs will begin again as usual next Thursday (12 Nov).

- The script for simulating the creation of 95% confidence intervals for the mean, and two data sets for that simulation: crab-simulation (a population of N = 100,000 values based on the crab equilibrium temperatures data set from Zar), and strontium (a population of N = 100,000 values based on a data set from my consulting work on nuclear power waste disposal risk assessment)
