Big Think has posted some EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL big ideas, the big whopper of which is to allow infant euthanasia. Not a subject on statistics, but what the heck…it’s my blog and I’ll post whatever interests me. Enjoy, but be ready to be weirded out by some of the ideas presented.
I found this interesting article (and more importantly graph) which shows the shares of operating system acquirers for the last six months. I’m an iPhone owner and wouldn’t trade it for the world, but the recent hype behind the Android (and the flak behind iPhone4) seems to be putting Apple on the offensive.
G. Jay Kerns is offering a free download of his book Introduction to Probability and Statistics Using R. As it states in the link, “This is a textbook for an undergraduate course in probability and statistics. The approximate prerequisites are two or three semesters of calculus and some linear algebra. Students attending the class include mathematics, engineering, and computer science majors.”
I’ve already downloaded and after a quick glance looks to be very good…and did I mention, IT’S FREE!
Enjoy.
