A major goal is to enable the student to draw the correct conclusions to statistical questions, avoiding some of the pitfalls and fallacies encountered. Usually three or four exams and a final are given during the semester. Some instructors collect homework or give impromptu quizzes. Game Theory, Graphs and Math. We will study game theory, graph theory, and other mathematical topics.
Game theory computes optimal strategies in simple situations where there is conflict.
Graphs are points connected by lines that could be models for practical situations. We aim to gain experience in confronting, studying and solving problems. Usually there will be three exams and a final. This is Math 111, taught as a freshmen seminar. These sections will be smaller than normal sections and will be taught seminar-style.
