The Relationship between Computer Science Aptitude and Success in Statistical Methods Courses Utilizing Statistical Computer Packages.
Stephens, Larry J.
Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v4 n1 p36-37 Fall 1984

One implication is that no computer science prerequisite is necessary for courses utilizing statistical packages. (JN)
