This site aims "to provide free, high quality, interactive, web-based resources for students and teachers of probability and statistics" It covers probability, statistics and "special models" such as finite sampling models and the Poisson process - they are presented here with text and interactive Java tutorials. Each page suggests mathematical exercises and simulation exercises, with some external links. The site requires the Mozilla Firefox browser (version 1.5 or later), with the MathML fonts installed, and with the Java plug-in (version 1.5 or later).
