NEW PROB/STAT COURSES FOR SSE STUDENTS

Beginning Fall 08, Math 301/601 will no longer exist. In its place there will be two entry level probability and statistics options which count for the BS in SSE.

Math 123 Statistics for Scientists is a quick trip through many statistical methods in one semester. It covers statistical inference for one and two populations, an introduction to linear regression, and several other statistical issues. It focuses on methodology rather than foundations. It does not count toward math major.
Prerequisite for Math 123: Math 121 or equivalent.

Math 307/308 is a two semester sequence. Math 307 (offered in the fall) is a stand alone course in probability that will serve as a basis for further study in probability, and also as fundamental background for Math 308. Math 308 (offered in the spring) is a serious introduction to statistics, including much foundational material and a number of statistical topics. It is essential for further courses in statistics. Both these courses count toward the math major.
Prerequisite for Math 307: Math 221 or equivalent. Prerequisites for Math 308: Math 221 and Math 307 or equivalents.

Math 111 and Math 114 do not count for the BS.
