MAT 107 Statistics: Concepts and Controversies
Introductory -- The course introduces statistics as a liberal arts
discipline. It focuses on statistical ideas and their relevance to public
policy and to the sciences, from medicine to sociology. The emphasis is on
statistical reasoning, rather than statistical theory. The course covers
reliable data generation, data summarization, and the classical approach
to drawing conclusions from data (statistical inference). This course does
not count towards the major or minor in mathematics. Students who have
taken calculus are encouraged to take Mathematics 217 or Mathematics 227
instead of Mathematics 107.
