Textbook: Warren J. Ewens and Gregory R. Grant, Statistical Methods in Bioinformatics: An Introduction, Second Edition, (c) 2005.

In addition to the hardcover version available for purchase at the bookstore, the library currently has a Springer subscription including the online edition (accessible from a UCSD IP address), but beware that UCSD has cancelled publisher subscriptions in the past. The website includes a link to purchase a "printed eBook" version for $24.95.

Slides and Handouts: There will be slides and/or handouts for a number of the lectures. In most cases, these will be posted on the Calendar page of the class website.

Computer resources: Homework assignments include problems that are geared towards Matlab, R, or other mathematical/statistical software, rather than a calculator.

Homework: Homework assignments will be posted on the class website and are due in class on Wednesdays or as otherwise directed.

• Please write your name, student ID number, date, and assignment number at the top of the first page.
• Show your work, and when relevant, circle your final answer.
• Please staple the pages together.
• Unless otherwise directed, you may study with others, but the work you turn in should be your own; do not just copy someone else's answer.

Exams:  There will be one midterm (Wednesday May 9 in class) and one final (Friday June 15, 3-6 p.m.). They will be comprehensive. Rules and material covered on each exam will be announced the prior week.
