Aims 

The teaching of STAT273 will focus on the understanding of probability concepts and their applications. EXCEL and Scientific Notebook will be used to assist in calculation and simulation. 

Basic skills of calculus, such as elementary differentiation and integration, are essential for this course. However, the emphasis will be on the understanding of the processes, rather than the actual calculations. For more detail see the Unit Outline.
