MATH 23
Engineering Statistics


Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to probabilistic and statistical modeling for students in engineering, economics, finance and related disciplines in the mathematical sciences. It exposes students to a variety of applications requiring decision making in the face of uncertainty. Topics covered include the collection and analysis of information, making use of graphical and numerical techniques, discrete, continuous, cumulative, and joint probability distribution functions and use of statistical inference, experimental design, and equation fitting, when appropriate. Many of the applications require the use of technology (computers and graphic calculators). Computer simulations are used to illustrate difficult topics and provide visualization of advanced theoretical results (e.g. the Central Limit Theorem).
