Fun with Probability!
The Probable Pen in the Cereal Box
Acknowledgements
|
Few projects of this magnitude can be developed in a vaccuum, and this
one is no exception. I gratefuly acknowledge the following folks without
whom Fun with Probability! wouldn't exist:
- Ken Travers - Dr. Travers is my instructor in the theory of teaching
mathematics, and it was a discussion in his class which gave me the idea
for this project. Look what your idea hath wrought!
- Kinzie Cornell - My daughter helped me design the cereal box.
- Angela Marcum - My wife has been a gem of support.
- Michael Waugh and Jim Levin - The parents and instructors of SatEx,
the course that started this whole thing.
- Louisa Allen - My former 5th grade teacher helped to write the teaching
guide for this project.
- George Reese and Matt Stuve - Two compatriots in the Education department
who helped to shape this site. George especially helped me to see that
"you have to know your data," and that you have to check it out
before arbitrarily posting it to the net.
