Mr. Rasmusen's Summer Statistics Class (2026)

Mr. Rasmusen is at [email protected]. Tuesday 4-5 classes are for new topics. Thursday 4-5 classes are for going over homework, and for any other questions. The Thursday classes might not go the whole hour. Anybody is welcome to attend this zoom class, even starting late and doing no homework.

https://www.online-python.com/ is a good place to go to run python code.

Maybe I will switch out classes and have one just on using python for statistics.
