Some mathematical details
Your project is to quantify the level of collaborative and methodological work performed by the tenure-track faculty at the following departments: • Johns Hopkins Biostatistics • University of Washington Biostatistics • University of Minnesota Biostatistics • Stanford Statistics • Iowa State Statistics • University of Chicago Statistics
1st Discussion Point:

from: [email protected] Roger let me know you gave him a ballpark figure for the number of students registered for his course "Computing for Data Analysis”. Could you give me an idea of how many have registered for my course "Data Analysis?”
from: [email protected] Hi Jeff, 7,000 students! It's pretty awesome. (You'll be able to check this out yourself next week, once the class sites are up.)
