The basis for inductive research in many disciplines is statistics.
The foundation of the use of statistical analysis is Probability Theory which studies the underlying distributions based on probability.
Probability Theory was first developed to assist gamblers with games of chance. However, its application is much wider reaching.
Indeed, at a very fundamental level the basic laws of physics—the laws that govern our universe—are probabilistic in nature.
The mathematical models that describe quantum mechanics are based on probability density functions.
This course will concentrate on the basis of probability and random variables and present how to compute and use various discrete probability functions and continuous probability density functions.

| This course was originally taught as MATH 451, Statistical Analysis with exactly the same content.
In 2007 the name of the course (and the number) was changed to reflect better what was actually being taught.

The teacher will off-campus during the month of June; however, he will have e-mail access.
There are ways to work through without creating undue delays in your progress.
Make certain you have made arrangements well in advance. |
