Mathematical Biostatistics Boot Camp
Brian Caffo
This class presents the fundamental probability and statistical concepts used in elementary data analysis. It will be taught at an introductory level for students with junior or senior college-level mathematical training including a working knowledge of calculus. A small amount of linear algebra and programming are necessary, but not required.

Week 1 Deadlines Extended & Grading Policy Change
There was some confusion about the deadlines for the Week 1 Quiz and Homework, so they have been extended until 11:59 PM PDT today, October 1. As a result, the openings of the Week 2 Quiz and Homework have been pushed back until 11:59 AM PDT tomorrow, October 2.
We are also adjusting the grading policy for quizzes. Beginning with the Week 2 quiz, your effective score will reflect your best attempt instead of your last attempt.
Thanks to everyone for your hard work on the course so far. We are seeing a lot of good conversation on the Discussion Forums, and it is especially gratifying to see you helping one another understand the material. We are also grateful for the feedback you have been giving us.
Keep up the good work!

log
By the way, whenever I write log it means log base e (natural log). If I want log base ten or two, say, I'll write log10 or log2.
