Are you aware of the new
Biostatistics course that the MATH department now offers? This course
should meet the need of the School of Pharmacy’s degree requirements and has
been approved by CCC as an elective in the Life Science program (although the
catalog does not reflect this yet). Students should be advised to take
MATH 217 rather than 117 when possible.
All the best,
Jim
MATH
217 - Biostatistics
A
course in statistical methods for students in biology and the health sciences.
The course will explore foundational concepts and applications in descriptive
and inferential statistics including: conditional probability, sampling
distribution, estimation, odds ratios, formal probability distributions (e.g.,
binomial, Gaussian and Poisson), confidence intervals, hypothesis testing
(e.g., t-tests, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, ANOVA, chi-square tests),
correlation, simple and multiple linear regression, relative risk, and logistic
regression. Coursework will rely heavily on technology in order to focus on the
applications of statistical concepts and methods within the health sciences and
biology areas. PRE- or
COREQUISITE(S): MATH 150 or MATH 170 or MATH 181 or consent of department.
Three hours each week.
