[This is an informational posting about a statistics course coming up next
 week at the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins.  If uninterested skip now.]

Current Topics in Information Technology:  Summer '92
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homewood Academic Computing of the Johns Hopkins University, in cooperation 
with the JHU Whiting School of Engineering, offers each semester a series of
non-credit courses focusing on current topics in computing.  These courses are
designed specifically for information technology professionals who need to keep
abreast of the latest applications and techniques in their field. They 
are available to Hopkins personnel under the University's tuition-remission 
program.

The subject of the final course in our series this summer is the multi- 
functional statistical programming environment known as S.  Continuing 
Education Units may be awarded upon completion. 

This course is hands-on, and space is very limited.  A registration form for 
the course is attached.  For assistance, please contact Rodney Baker in 
Homewood Academic Computing at 516-8728 (FAX 516-5508). For information about
other HAC courses, please call Lee Watkins, HAC Assistant Director, 516-8096.


The S  Statistical Programming Environment           
Paul M. Wright
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indigo Workstation Lab, Krieger Hall 172-A
		 
This course presents data analysis and graphics using the new S language from 
Bell Labs, a powerful interactive programming environment for UNIX systems.  
Students will learn how S handles data, how to use the large collection of S 
functions to perform statistical analyses, and how to display information with
the flexible graphics capabilities of S. Students will also learn how to expand
S by writing S functions, as well as how to use the interface to UNIX system 
commands (one of the most useful aspects of any good UNIX tool). A working 
knowledge of statistical procedures and linear algebra operations is required 
for this course.
