Course Overview

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Math 13, Introductory Statistics. I am very excited to help you on your educational journey in learning math this semester. It was always a struggle for me as a student learning math and I have many stories on why. But learning math can be fun and fulfilling if you give it a chance!

It is from my own learning experiences that I try to base my teaching style to be more helpful in guiding students so that it is not so much a struggle learning math, but more a fun and productive challenge.

This course is designed to introduce the student to the study of statistics and probability. Topics include descriptive statistics (organization of data, histograms, and measures of central tendency and spread), linear correlation and regression, design of experiments, introductory probability, random variables, the normal distribution and Student's t-distribution, and statistical inference, including confidence intervals and tests and significance. Use of a graphing calculator or computer for statistical analysis is required. CAN STAT 2, CSU, UC (credit limits may apply to UC-see counselor).

Math can be challenging, but with regular practice and hard work, everyone can be successful!

Also, remember that you are not alone in the course. In addition to the instructor and possible embedded tutor, you can connect with each other and chat here, 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 Student Lounge Forum
