2013 Fall

• MATH 213-001 STATISTICAL THINKING
  Descriptive and inferential analysis of data, emphasizing appropriate assumptions, computer use and interpretation. Parametric and non parametric methods will be compared and contrasted throughout the course. May not receive credit for more than one: MATH 150, 151, 155 or 213. Concurrent registration with MATH 214 is required. Prerequisites or corequisites: MATH 214 and 160 or 201. Three hours per week.

• MATH 214-001 STATISTICS LABORATORY
  Laboratory activities to reinforce topics covered in MATH 213. Must be taken during the same semester that students register for MATH 213. Students having completed MATH 155 or equivalent may also take MATH 214. Two hours laboratory per week.

• MATH 385-002 DIRECTED STUDY
  For students who desire to pursue a special topic in mathematics not covered in the current curriculum. Under most circumstances students will take this course for three credit hours. This course may be repeated under different subtitles but only a total of four credit hours from MATH 385 and/or COSC 385 may be used toward a major or minor. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. One to four hours per week.

• MATH 413-001 MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS I
  Axioms and algebra of probability, discrete and continuous random variables, multivariate distributions, limit theorems. May be offered for undergraduate or graduate credit. Prerequisites: MATH 213, 310. Three hours per week.

• MATH 502-001 APPLIED STATISTICS
  The use of linear models in the analysis of data, starting with simple models and going to more complex models. Special attention given to the use and abuse of these models by researchers. Graduate credit only. Prerequisite: A course in statistics (MATH 155 OR MATH 213). Three hours per week.

• MATH 513-001 MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS I
  Axioms and algebra of probability, discrete and continuous random variables, multivariate distributions, limit theorems. May be offered for undergraduate or graduate credit. Prerequisites: MATH 213, 310. Three hours per week.
