Besides all the above, this class will also provide many examples
of SAS code used in the financial and pharmaceutical industry for you
to keep for future reference.
The class material will be electronic files, mostly using SAS code to
illustrate how the SAS works. All SAS code can be copied to your SAS
Program Editor directly and run without modification.
