| Abstract | Topics in probability and statistics are becoming more and more common in the high school curriculum of today. APL provides a concise language to express these concepts. If it is used in conjunction with a computer, the tedious development of important notions can be simplified. In choosing a sequence of ideas to explore, I am guided by the rather natural way data are collected, organized and analyzed. Computer simulations of experiments are possible to vary the collection process. I encourage students to use their imagination to visualize and create arrays of information and to become comfortable with a language capable of expressing and transforming those data into usable statistics. APL is used to develop theoretical expectations and to provide sampling data for comparisons. Finally, conclusions are drawn. As a bonus, the universality of the mathematical models make them easy to generalize and apply to many diverse situations. We have worked for many years in Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School to blend APL into our teaching of traditional mathematics and science courses. This paper points toward its use in developing concepts in probability and statistics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
