Fifty Fathoms

Fifty Fathoms is a collection of 50 demonstrations that tackle some of the tough ideas in an introductory statistics course. The book comes with a CD-ROM packed with cool files; the printed pages tell you how to use them. And why are the files so cool? Because they use Fathom software, the premier tool for dynamic, data-driven investigations in mathematics and statistics. Don't own Fathom? You do not need to. A special edition of Fathom Version 1 comes on the CD to be used with the demonstration files. The demonstrations in the book run the gamut from first-week material like the meaning of mean and median to more difficult topics such as the power of hypothesis tests.
