Gina Reed, professor of mathematics, and John Dees, a senior majoring in Geographic Information Systems, recently published an article on math education in MathAMATYC Educator, an association with the mission to promote and increase awareness of the role of two-year colleges in mathematics education.
The article focuses on data taken from the popular game "Words with Friends," and how the data sets can be used for descriptive techniques such as comparisons of central tendencies and variation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and conditional probabilities.
