Math 147B Course material

Recorded lectures:

Here is the list of recordings of those lectures that were taught remotely.

•  None so far

Text Book and MyStatLab (SDM) Website:

The course will be taught according to the book "Stats - Data & Models, 5th edition" by De Veaux/Velleman/Bock. Even though it is NOT REQUIRED, we RECOMMEND that you get the version with MyStatLab access. See the syllabus for further detail on this issue. You will need that MyStatLab access code to register for Math 147B on the MyStatlab website, also referred to as the SDM website or the DVB website. (SDM stands for the initials of the text, Stats, Data & Models, and DVB stands for the initials of De Veaux/Velleman/Bock, the authors of the textbook.) Here is the link for instructions to register. If you review those instructions then you see that you need to provide the course ID (fochler84606) to register.

If you have purchased access to the SDM website then you have access to the instructor's slides I am using in lecture. You navigate the Pearson SDM site as follows: In the main menu of the course (where you can access, e.g., the eText and Homework links) you click on the Multimedia Library link. In the Multimedia Library page you then check the PowerPoint option in the Media Type area. That's it! You then can view or also download those slides.

Used book buyers beware: I used to teach this course, then named Math 148, until Spring 2022 according to the FOURTH edition of the SDM text. There are some very substantial differences between that book and the FIFTH edition which I am using now!
