Aims and Objectives

It is useless to remind the fundamental role played by the statistics in sciences (to analyze sample of data or to elaborate plans of experiments).

Good understanding of statistics is indispensable to understand scientific literature.

That is why in the term of this course the students will have to be capable to understand the basic principles of statistical procedures (sampling, descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests …)
