362 is the second course of a two semester sequence. 361 focuses on mathematical probability, while 362 focuses on statistics. From the Course Atlas: The mathematical theory of statistical inference. Heavy use will be made of the theory of probability developed in Mathematics 361.

There will be two midterm exams and one final exam for the course. The midterms will be held on Friday February 25th, and April 1st during lecture. The final will be cumulative and will be held Wednesday, May 4th from 8:30-11:00AM. There will be NO MAKEUP EXAMS. Note that I am bound to this by school policy, especially with regard to the final which I cannot move for any reason. Calculators will be allowed on the exams, but will not be necessary.

There will be weekly homework assignments in this course. They will be assigned on Monday and collected the following Monday. There will be no homework on exam weeks.

You are welcome (encouraged!) to work with others on your homework assignments, however everyone must individually write up the draft they turn in. Additionally, you must write the names of students you worked with on the assignments you turn in.

Homework assignments are available here, on the course website.

Your grade will be based on the following rubric:

25% - Homework
20% - Each midterm
35% - Final

Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense at Emory. Recall that you agreed to abide by an honor code so long as you are at Emory.
