| Instructor's comments about the book list: These books are an open access textbooks and can be downloaded FOR FREE on the OpenIntro website. If you prefer a physical copy, you can buy one--either is fine by me! We will be using only a few sections from OpenIntro Statistics, so I suggest refraining from buying a hard copy until after the first day of class. |
