Introduction to (Bio)Statistics

Welcome to Introduction to (Bio)Statistics

Daily class notes for both Math 58 and Math 58B at Pomona College: Introduction to Statistics and Introduction to Biostatistics. The notes are based extensively on Introduction to Modern Statistics by Çetinkaya-Rundel and Hardin and Investigating Statistical Concepts, Applications, and Methods by Chance and Rossman.

You are responsible for reading your texts. They are both good and readable, so you should use them. That said, you should also make sure you are coming to class and asking lots of questions.

More information and course details can be found at the Math 58B website.
