As the world becomes increasingly wired, the Co-op in Computer Science prepares students for graduate study or professional, government, and research and development positions with a strong working knowledge of computing in the real world. The goal of the Co-op in Environmental Science is to produce highly skilled environmental scientists with excellent lab and field experience. The fields of Probability and Statistics were developed to deal with the notion of uncertainty. Uncertainty is present in all branches of applied science and it affects the degree of confidence we can have in various conclusions about the way that the world works. Statistics uses probability theory to develop rules that tell us how to draw conclusions, or make inferences about real-world questions when our information is uncertain.
Statistics is concerned with designing investigations to minimize the effects of uncertainty.
Careers Some of these careers require further training.
