MATH 33XX -- Engineering Statistics II

Instructor: Josh Engwer, Ph.D.

"Mathematics, you see, is not a spectator sport." -- George Polya, circa 1969.

"Working an integral or performing a linear regression is something a computer can do quite effectively. Understanding whether the result makes sense - or deciding whether the method is the right one to use in the first place - requires a guiding human hand. When we teach mathematics we are supposed to be explaining how to be that guide. A math course that fails to do so is essentially training the student to be a very slow, buggy version of Microsoft Excel." -- Jordan Ellenberg

"I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 correlation calculations! This is called data dredging. Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead tossed a bunch of data in a blender to see what correlations would shake out. It's a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random." -- Tyler Vigen
