The Computing and Graphics Newsletter is distributed to members of the Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections of the ASA. Their annual dues assist section activities. If you are an ASA member, but do not belong to either of these Sections, please consider joining. If you are not an ASA member, but find the articles in the Newsletter interesting, you might want to give our organization a look.
The Newsletter is produced by two volunteer editors, one from each of the Computing and Graphics Sections, with articles from both ASA members and non-members. Our current editors are Usha Govindarajulu (Computing) and Anushka Anand (Graphics). We are eager to hear both from people who receive the newsletter regularly as well as interested visitors who have examined our site. Consider giving us feedback about how we can improve this service.
As a service to our members, we make PDF versions of the complete Newsletter available for downloading. Even if you are not a member, feel free to browse through our collection. If you like what you see, consider joining our sections!

If you are interested in statistical computing and visualization, we strongly encourage you to become a member of either the Computing or Graphics Sections of the ASA. Your dues will cover production of this newsletter as well as a host of Section initiatives aimed at improving the field of Statistics.
For example, each Section sponsors student paper competitions, designed to help students with interests in computing and graphics. Each co-sponsors various meetings like the Symposia on the Interface between Computing Science and Statistics. We also promote continuing education courses at the annual ASA meetings.
Please check out the Sections' website to get a complete list of what kinds of projects we are sponsoring. If we've sold you on becoming a member, head straight for the ASA Online Membership Form.
