Elementary Statistics notes

What is this context all about? It is becoming fashionable, and indeed necessary for all educated people to learn some Mathematics, especially Statistics. My goal in writing this context is to: 1. Provide an introduction to the nature of mathematics as a major field of intellectual endeavor that is at least as much a an art as it is a science. 2. To provide an acquaintance with the history of mathematics so that the human aspect of the subject is not neglected.
