Statistics

This course introduces the fundamental principles of statistics, focusing on data analysis and interpretation in computer science and data-driven problem solving. Students learn methods for collecting, organizing, and summarizing data, and apply descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to real-world datasets. Key topics include probability concepts and commonly used probability distributions. This course emphasizes using statistical tools and computational methods to analyze data from various online and professional sources. Through applied exercises and projects, students develop the ability to translate raw data into meaningful insights, evaluate uncertainty, and make evidence-based decisions. The course fosters analytical thinking, data literacy, and clear communication of statistical results in technical and non-technical contexts - preparing students to confidently apply statistical reasoning in research, business, and technology-driven environments.
