The Department of Applied and Engineering Statistics is located
on George Mason's main campus in Science and Technology Building II.
This new facility, first occupied in the summer of 1991, contains
faculty and graduate student offices, computational laboratories,
classrooms, and a small library. The computational laboratories
represent an unusually well-equipped modern computational facility with
a wide variety of platforms. At the high end, we have an Intel Paragon
XP/S A4 concurrent computer, a number of Silicon Graphics graphics
workstations including two Onyx RE2, a Crimson VGXT and an Indigo R4000
Elan, and several Hewlett Packard computers including a 9000/433
compute-file server and a 9000/730 high performance workstation, all
integrated on an ethernet-based LAN. Also on the LAN are a wide variety
of micros and workstations, including Macintoshes and Wintel-based
machines. Also available are a number of NeXT computers supporting a
wide variety of statistical and mathematical software. The labs also
contain a wide variety of state-of-the-art peripherals, including six
laser printers, two color ink-jet printers, a Shinko Dye-sublimation
Postscript printer, two Tektronix stereoscopic display terminals, and
several plotters. Computer resources include a virtual reality
laboratory with a high resolution Stereographics projection system
and virtual reality headgear. The local library contains a rather
extensive collection of statistics, mathematics, computing, engineering,
and general science journals. In addition to the local library, the
university's Fenwick Library houses a good collection, augmented by
access to the collections of nearby libraries and the Library of Congress.
The computational laboratories and facilities are part of the
Center for Computational Statistics, our closely allied research unit. More
information on the
Center's facilities is available.
