CMP 112 - Computational Thinking I

4 Hour(s)
Introduces students to elementary statistical methods and intermediate-level uses of Excel spreadsheets with a focus on data analysis, organization, visualization, and interpretation. Students will be exposed to some essential elements of computational thinking. They will solve problems with the statistical and software tools they’ve learned by developing simple algorithms and using elementary mathematical models. The topics may include, but are not limited to descriptive statistics, 1 and 2-parameter tests (e.g. 2 independent sample t-tests) as well as correlation and regression. Probabilistic models will be used to simulate stochastic processes and develop concepts in algorithmic thinking and mathematical modeling.
