Course Description

The growth in computational power and availability of all sorts of data has led society to become bombarded with a variety of statistics. How much of this information is trustworthy, how much is noise - and how might it affect one’s decision-making? 
 
This course looks at the mathematical foundations of probability and randomness, and how they inform our understanding of how real-world data may be generated. Next, the course discusses what statistics are; how they are generated; when they are meaningful and when they are not. In parallel with theoretical study, the class will utilize statistical software to get a practical understanding of data processing and statistical analysis.
