Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics that studies "rational behavior in interactive or interdependent situations." Often used in economics and political science, game theory is a tool to deal with uncertainty and make intelligent decisions. Mike Shor, a professor at Vanderbilt University, operates this Web site. Many useful resources related to game theory are offered, including lecture...

This resource for educators and students of game theory aims to make lessons on game theory more relevant to the student (see also NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, October 11, 2002). This section of the website provides links to lecture notes for courses in game theory and applied game theory offered by faculty at various universities. The collection is arranged in a table...

Does the mere mention of the phrase “sampling distributions” bring a tingle to your spine? Visitors to this site will fear this basic concept of statistics (along with many others) no longer, as it does a fine job of explaining them in a fashion that is both lucid and jargon-free. Created and maintained by Professor David M. Lane of Rice University, the HyperStat Online site contains an online...

Published since 1993, the Journal of Statistics Education (JSE) is a publication of the American Statistical Association. Given the wide range of material found within its pages (both virtual and print), it can truly be considered one of the most important resources available for those who wish to make the world of statistics lucid for their students and others. Visitors can wander through the...

Created by Noel Vaillant, PhD from Imperial College, London, these 20 probability tutorials "are meant to be a complete online course on measure theory, lebesgue integration and probability." The exercises are designed to give students all the necessary tools to prove problems themselves. There are solutions for tutorials 1-6, and more are regularly added. Tutorial headings include Dynkin systems,...

When the Scout Report last visited the Probability Tutorials in 1999, there were just twelve tutorials on this site. Since that time, the tutorials offered here have grown both in number (from twelve to twenty) and in their overall scope and breadth. The site was created and is still maintained by Noel Vaillant, who received his PhD from Imperial College, London. Currently, the site contains...
