DCML Digest, Vol 26, Issue 22 ("Stats")

[kimba1962@comcast.net]

I'm surprised that the abbreviation of "stats" for "statistics" is not better known.  It's almost universally used amongst my students.  Strangely enough, in Britain, "maths" is commonly used as a shorthand for "mathematics," yet this particular abridgement is virtually unknown in the States!
