Links

[] CRAN The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) is the source for the R program as well as a source for much of its documentation and extensions. You can also access (or download) the An Introduction to R document from here.
[] CTAN The TeX Archive Network (CTAN) is a set of fully-mirrored ftp sites providing the most complete, up-to-date TeX-related software possible.
[] MiKTeX The MiKTeX distribution allows one to easily create documents in LaTeX. Download this in order to typeset your homework in LaTeX format. This program merely makes it easier to use LaTeX. You will still need a text processor, like Notepad (ewww!), WinEdt (the one I use), or LEd (freeware).
[] StatSoft StatSoft’s electronic version of their textbook allows you to study specific topics in statistics. (They do, however, use screenshots of their proprietary statistics program.)

General Data Sources

[] Instituto Nacional de Estadística This is the national census bureau for the Kingdom of Spain. Knowledge of Spanish is helpful, but there is also an English-language section.
[] US Census Bureau The mission of the US Census Bureau is to serve as the leading source of quality data about the nation’s people and economy. As such, it is a fantastic source of information about the United States of America.
