StatSoftElectronic Textbook - This Electronic Statistics Textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics and forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others.
SurfStat austrailia - The SurfStat project started in 1994 with the brave but naive intent of making an existing set of course notes available online as hypertext. It has since grown to include an extensive glossary, interactive exercises, JavaScript functions replacing statistical probability tables, and the beginnings of a set of Java applets demonstrating statistical concepts through dynamic graphics. It is the primary learning resource for students taking STAT101 at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

The original course notes were written by Annette Dobson in 1987, and updated over several years' use by Anne Young, Bob Gibberd and others. Note. This resource opens in its own browser.

Create-A-Graph - Sharon Harding (EPSY 435 - Spring 2006) alerted me to this site. "NCES constantly uses graphs and charts in our publications and on the web. Sometimes, complicated information is difficult to understand and needs an illustration. Graphs or charts can help impress people by getting your point across quickly and visually. Here you will find five different graphs and charts for you to consider. Maybe it will help explain what you are trying to show. Use homework problems, things you have a special interest in, or use some of the numbers you find elsewhere on this site. Have fun!" Note. This resource opens in its own browser.

FEDSTATS - This link provides access to federal statistics generated by over 70 U.S. government agencies for public use. If you want a national statistic on anything, this is the place to look. A very valuable resource site for professionals and a good site to recommend to your students if you teach any courses involving statistics (Psychwatch.com, 1998). Note.

Intervention Central - Stephanie Wooley (EPSY 435 - Spring 2004) alerted me to this site.

The site was created by Jim Wright, a school psychologist from Syracuse, NY.

World Clocks - Charles Bowen with the Internet News - An old song asks, "Does anybody really know what time it is?" Well, yes -- Steffen Thorsen does. This 23-year-old Norwegian student has created the ultimate Web site about time. This cool, customizable page has all kind of time and date-related features. Need to know the start and end of daylight savings time? Have to calculate the days between two dates? Want to know what time it is in another part of the world? Steffen has these and scores of other time-related tools and toys. There's even a meeting planner and a countdown to the new millennium. Note. This resource opens in its own browser.
