Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] The course teaches fundamentals of data analysis useful in chemistry-related research fields such as chemical engineering, applied chemistry, polymer engineering with exercises. The course also teaches how to conduct data analysis on computer based on understanding of mathematical background of data analysis with exercises on computer.
[Aim of the course] The aim of the course is for students to understand expression methods of data; definitions of statistics; regression analysis; Chi-squared test; discrete probability distribution; continuous probability distribution; probability density distribution; Fourier series. The course also aims that students can conduct data analysis on computer by getting capability of coding computer program.

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will be able to:
(1) Explain statistics of data
(2) Conduct regression analysis and explain the relation between two variables
(3) Conduct reliability test
(4) Explain discrete probability distribution, continuous probability distribution and probability density distribution
(5) Conduct Fourier series expansion of periodic function and explain characteristics of the function by interpreting Fourier coefficients
(6) Code and use program for data analysis on computer
