ISYE 3770 - Statistics and Applications

From Georgia Tech Student Wiki

ISYE 3770: Statistics and Applications is a 3-credit course in applied statistics and probability. It is cross-listed with MATH 3770 and CEE 3770.

Note: some majors allow double-counting of ISYE 3770 for the Statistics requirement and as a non-major engineering elective.

Topic List[edit | edit source]

The textbook used is Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers by Montgomery and Runger, especially chapters 2 through 13.

  • Probability
  • Discrete random variables
