Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung (iversity)

Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung (iversity)

Wieso hat uns Jakob Bernoulli das Glücksspiel neu erklärt? Was haben Fische mit Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu tun? Wann sind Drogenfahnder erfolgreich? Wer wissen will, wie man bei solchen Fragen zu guten Antworten gelangt, ist bei diesem MOOC genau richtig.

Ganz gleich in welcher Wissenschaftsdisziplin, Statistik ist das Schweizer Armeemesser für die Behandlung von vielen Zahlen – um daraus wenige Zahlen zu machen. Das klingt unspektakulär, hat aber schon so manchen Studierenden in den Human-, Wirtschafts- und Naturwissenschaften zur Verzweiflung gebracht. Dabei ist Statistik überall, in den alltäglichsten Situationen und den komplexesten Forschungsfragen.
In dieser Einführung kümmern wir uns um das Fundament der Statistik, die Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie. Das klingt schlimm, ist es aber nicht. Wir erfahren etwas über die männliche Sicht weiblichen Intellekts, antike Cassettenhüllen, gezinkte Würfel, Milchreis, Hochrisiko-Sportfeste und vieles mehr, das uns den Einstieg in die Welt der Wahrscheinlichkeit so leicht macht als sei die Statistik auf eine strenge Diät gegangen.
Lernergebnisse:
Am Ende des Kurses wirst Du die grundlegenden formalen Elemente der Wahrscheinlichkeit kennen. Du wirst verstanden haben, was sich Pierre Simon Laplace und Nikolaj Kolmogoroff unter dem Begriff Wahrscheinlichkeit vorgestellt haben. Du wirst mit bedingten Wahrscheinlichkeiten und dem Satz von Bayes umgehen können. Und schließlich wirst Du Dich in vielen Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen zurechtfinden wie der Binomialverteilung, der Poissonverteilung, der hypergeometrischen Verteilung und der Normalverteilung.

Introduction to Mathematical Thinking (Coursera)

Learn how to think the way mathematicians do - a powerful cognitive process developed over thousands of years. Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics – at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself.
