Annotation -
The Elementary Course of Statistics is aimed at undergraduate students. Students will learn basic statistical methods and gain insight into basic probability concepts. Data processing will be done using R software which is a programming language designed especially for statistical calculations and graphical outputs. It is a free software with quality help, and thanks to its great popularity in the statistical community, many blogs with tutorials, hints and sample examples can be found.

Requirements to the exam

The rules for granting the credit are determined by the teachers. As a rule, it is necessary to actively participate in seminars and solve individual tasks, or successfully pass an additional comprehensive test. Attendance at seminars is mandatory.

The obtained credit is a necessary condition for passing the exam. The exam is oral.

Entry requirements -

Students are expected to have either completed the prerequisite course Mathematics B or possess the equivalent knowledge prior to enrolling in the course.

Basic knowledge of calculus (derivatives and integrals, ideally also for functions of two variables), basic elements of set logic (Venn diagrams) and combinatorics are recommended.
