About
This program will provide a solid understanding of differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, basic statistical analysis of data, and modern statistical methods such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis. On completion of the program, the students should gain knowledge about using a statistical software (such as R or Minitab) and be able to communicate, in writing, the results of a statistical analysis of real data.
