Statistics 212, Spring 2018
For the most part, this course will be based on material in my text Mathematics of Probability, which is GSM #149 published by the American Mathematics Society. 
If you or a friend of yours is a member of the AMS, then you can buy this book for $60 from the AMS.  If you are not a member, then you can buy it from AMS or
Amazon for $71.29   An ever growing list of errata can be viewed at errata.

This is not a true statistics class.  Instead, it is an introduction to the mathematics of modern probability theory for people with a moderately sophisticated
mathematics background. 

Grades for this course will be based on homework assignments, which will be posted here.  The grader is Donming Huang and his email address is  dhuang01@g.harvard.edu.  I encourage you to email your assignments directly to him.  Homeworks submitted after the solutions have been posted will not be graded.
