World Wide Web resources for teaching a probability course.
Robin Lock does a good job of maintaining a website which
provides information about other websites that are useful for
teaching an introductory statistics course. There does not seem
to be a similar website for teaching a first probability course.
These remarks are meant to indicate some sources that can help
in teaching a basic probability course. Phil Pollett at the
University of Queensland established the website The Probability
Web to provide links to web resources for probability. This
website has been taken over by Bob Dobrow at Clarkson University
has made significant contributions to the site including addiing
a unit on the teaching of probability. An interactive
probability book is provided by Keil Siegrist at the University
of Alabama at Huntsville at his "Virtual Laboratories in
Probability and Statistics". This book has a calculus
prerequisite. It starts with a chapter on probability, followed
by a chapter on statistics, and then a chapt
