This article concludes the serialization of the Royal Statistical Society's Schools Lecture for 2004, on ‘Lies and statistics’.     

Fishy Statistics

Being a statistical detective can provide a strong motivation for early work in data handling. Media reports can often start a fascinating chain of events, as this article shows.     

A Classic Probability Puzzle

A classic probability puzzle, presenting an absurd result, is analysed. Clearing the confusion caused by this problem sheds light on basic concepts of probability theory.     

Buffon's Coin Problem and Beyond

This article describes an investigation of Buffon's coin problem and related problems with the aid of an applet. The problems are accessible at a variety of grade levels and facilitate making connections between geometry and probability.     

Teaching statistics through the law

Class examples for a standard introductory statistics course usually involve a variety of applications. In this paper, we consider the teaching of statistics using forensic science and the law, an area that holds some fascination with many audiences.     

遗传阿贝尔范畴上twist Hall代数到2-周期复形Hall代数的嵌入

给出了遗传阿贝尔范畴A的twist Hall代数Htw(A)到A上2-周期复形Hall代数DH(A)的一种新的代数嵌入方式.     

霍尔集成传感器的特性及其应用

详细地介绍了霍尔集成传感器内部结构、外形、输出特性、电气以及极限参数,并举例说明它的几方面应用.     

“惜阴堂”与辛亥革命

辛亥武昌首举义旗后，上海南阳路10号“惜阴堂”宾客云集。“惜阴堂”主人赵凤昌为策动各省响应起义，为中华民国南京临时政府的成立及南北和谈出谋划策，奔走呼号。“惜阴堂”并非如有的学者认为的那样是南北议和代表和立宪派进行阴谋活动的场所；赵凤昌除和清朝旧官僚及立宪派频繁往来外，与革命党人亦过从甚密，赵凤昌是辛亥革命的热心支持者和积极参与者。     

利用霍尔电流传感器提高电流测量精度

随着电力系统自动化水平的不断提高,人们对电力系统在线检测的精度要求越来越高．要有效提高电力系统的电流测量精度,可用霍尔电流传感器代替电流互感器,利用单片机对电路进行补偿和性能改善,并采用接地、屏蔽、滤波等物理方法排除电磁干扰。     

毛泽东谈处理陈独秀问题的三点教训

毛泽东曾多次肯定陈独秀的功劳,同时也多次谈到在处理陈独秀问题上的教训,诸如"结论作得严重","太着重了个人的责任","图简便省事"。这些教训在陈独秀研究中仍有现实意义,值得我们思考。     

Using playing cards to differentiate probability interpretations

The aprioristic (classical, naïve and symmetric) and frequentist interpretations of probability are commonly known. Bayesian or subjective interpretation of probability is receiving increasing attention. This paper describes an activity to help students differentiate between the three types of probability interpretations.     

谈小说《三重门》及其作者韩寒

由一个有7门功课不及格并留过一次级的高中在校生发表的长篇小说《三重门》,在中国社会引发了巨大反响和歧见,被称之为“韩寒现象”。这一现象的出现不是中国教育的成就,而是中国教育的悲哀,它说明中国教育已经到了不进行彻底改革不行的时刻了。韩寒的未来存在许多变数,人们赞许他锐利的眼光和无畏的精神,更希望他抓住改革开放的大好机遇,严格要求自己,健康成长,真正成才。     

论《窝头会馆》的艺术特色

论青年毛泽东纪念馆学生讲解员的培养

结合我校“校中有馆”的办学特点,青年毛泽东陈列馆与时俱进,利用我校充足的高素质学生队伍,培养了一批具有高素质的学生讲解员。主要的培养措施有：(1)严格的选拔程序;(2)严谨的业务培训;(3)与时俱进,培养新型的学生讲解员。     

武当净乐宫的旅游市场分析与营销策略

武当净乐宫作为一个投资几千万的旅游项目，受到投资方北京振海公司和丹江口市政府的高度重视。但自2006年3月3日开光营业以来．净乐宫经营中出现了大量问题，致使其高开低走．对旅游市场缺乏认识和管理混乱是主要原因。     

霍尔与美国的儿童研究运动

19世纪末,美国发生了一场有多种社会力量参与,对美国教育和心理学、社会学产生广泛影响的儿童研究运动。这场运动的发起和推动离不开霍尔的努力。霍尔被誉为“儿童研究之父”。在儿童研究运动中,霍尔做了大量关于儿童的调查和研究,建构了其教育思想体系。他还提议并主持多次儿童研究会议,帮助建立了许多儿童研究协会,引导多种社会力量积极参与,加速了美国儿童研究运动的发展,为现代教育科学的探索作出了贡献。     

Cheating Partners,Conditional Probability and Contingency Tables

Developing statistical literacy for older school students includes recognizing and interpreting conditional statements in the media. Data on couples' success in predicting whether their partners have cheated provides a motivating context for teachers to lead their students through this process.     

Looking at debit and credit card fraud

This article, written jointly by a mathematician and a barrister, looks at some of the statistical issues raised by court cases based on fraud involving chip and PIN cards. It provides examples and insights that statistics teachers should find helpful.
