About
the Course |
MTH
452 is an introduction to the mathematical statistics using calculus.
Mathematical statistics has a tremendous range of applications in all the
sciences, including the social sciences, business and economics, and
engineering. It uses a wide variety of mathematical techniques and concepts,
especially elementary probability theory, linear algebra and calculus. The
class is designed for an audience with diverse interests such as engineering, science, economics or business
major. This course will fully prepare you for actuarial P exam. In addition,
the study of Mathematical statistics can be entertaining, enlightening
and sometimes surprising. We will cover most of Chapter 6-9 of the textbook.
There will be some additional material handed in the class. |
Mathematica Notebooks developed by Professor Kulenovic will be available through SAKAI.
Sakai There will be practice problems and solved problems in Sakai site of the course.
