- The textbook - Advanced
Calculus with Applications in Statistics, by A. Khuri, is summarized here.
It is only ‘recommended’, and we won’t follow it exactly, but it is a nice
read and can be a useful complement to the online notes. It has now been
around for a while and there are inexpensive copies available from a
variety of sources – Google it.
- Lecture

Technical
Writing:
- The importance of
clarity of exposition, and of grammatical correctness, in technical
writing cannot be over-emphasized. The best way to determine if you
understand what you are doing is to try to write it down in a form that
another reader can understand. Some comments along these lines are
included with the course information; for
some helpful resources see "Writing Aids" on my homepage.
Statistics resources at U of A:
- Several of our courses,
including this one, can be used to obtain accreditation as a
practising statistician in Canada.
