    The purpose of this course is to introduce mathematical concepts and statistical methods used in modern engineering analysis. The goal is to introduce students to analytical and numerical tools that can be used to solve real world engineering problems. Lectures will be supplemented by several programming exercises using R and/or Matlab, and a large number of practical examples on relevant engineering topics. This course covers the role of statistics in engineering, probability theory and distributions, continuous random variables, random sampling, data description, and statistical analyses or a single sample, and common hypothesis testing.
