About This Course

Mathematical statistics is one of the most important and valuable tools for engineers and scientists. It gives you much better understanding of many things, events and phenomena happening every day around us. This understanding, in its turn, will help you to get and share knowledge about different aspects of our world and nature. So next time you plan an experiment, analyse experimental data or describe results of such analysis you will have a very efficient tool, which makes a lot of things easier and prevent you from making wrong decisions and support incorrect hypotheses.

Statistics is a part of mathematics and its understanding may be quite tricky if you are not particularly good in mathematical disciplines. In order to make the learning process easier we are going to discuss mainly practical aspects of statistics and use a lot of simulations, real life examples and exercises instead of mathematical proofs. We expect that you will be very active, doing exercises, working on mini-projects, discussing things in course forum and with classmates — this is always the best way to learn.

We hope you will enjoy the course!
