There will be two Lab assignments throughout the term in which students will be asked to perform simulations and analysis. Each of the two assignments will be worth 5% of the final course grade. No prior programming experience is needed, and we will spend a class or two practicing with R.

Lab 1: Due Monday, July 23 at the beginning of class.

Lab 2 (TeX): Due Friday, August 10 at the beginning of class.
