Course description and aims

Both Fundamentals of Probability (MCS.T212) and Mathematical Statistics (MCS.T223) are necessary. Based on probability theory and mathematical statistics, mathematical structure of data analysis is introduced. Student should not measure this subject by practicability. True data analysis, which is based on mathematics, enables us to have wide viewpoints and deep insight. Nowadays, data analysis requires not only classical tools but also algebraic geometry, manifold theory, and stochastic process theory on functional space.

Student learning outcomes

Using probability theory and mathematical statistics, let's study and understand basic points of data analysis with applications to practical problems. You should understand that algebraic geometry, manifold theory, and stochastic process theory on functional space are necessary in modern data analysis.

Course taught by instructors with work experience

Applicable How instructors' work experience benefits the course
The lecturer worked in the company for eight years, but realized that what was said to be practical in the world was useless at all. The truly useful things were modern mathematics, such as algebraic geometry, algebraic analysis, and hyperfunction theory, and the mathematical mind which cannot be acquired without giving proofs of mathematics one by one.

Keywords

probability theory and mathematical statistics are necessary, practicability is not only measure, mathematics is the most important.

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
To do mathematical work, you need to learn mathematics. Easy introduction of machine learning and statistics is useless in the real world.

Class flow

Both Fundamentals of Probability (MCS.T212) and Mathematical Statistics (MCS.T223) are necessary for attending this lecture. In data analysis, their mathematical foundations and applications to practical problems are explained.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
