General information:

                  IE121 is an introductory course in Statistics primarily for engineering students. The term Statistics
                  deals with the collection, analysis, and presentation of data. The ability to use data correctly is important
                  to every engineer. In fact, this course is one of a subset that you will have a 100% chance of using. In this
                  course, we will cover estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression, analysis of variance,
                  and quality control. This year, IE121 will be conducted in close cooperation with IE122 Software Tools.
                  You may be asked to implement or use existing software in IE122 to reinforce the learning of concepts introduced
                  in IE121.
 

                  Course objectives:
                  Upon completion of this course students will:
                       - know the basic concepts and methods in statistics;
                       - know various estimation techniques and their respective strengths and weaknesses;
                       - be able to formulate analytical models to perform both parametric and non-parametric
                          hypothesis tests;
                       - be able to understand and analyze statistics in polling and yield management applications;
                       - be able to perform regression analysis and think critically about regression models;
                       - know the fundamentals of quality control models.

                  Instructor:  Eugene Perevalov.
                  Meeting times: MW 10:10-11:00, F 8:10-9:00 and 10:10-11:00, Spring 2003.

                  There will be approximately ten problem sets, three quizzes and a cumulative
                  final exam. If you first make an effort to think things through for yourself, the
                  course assistant and instructors will be glad to help you with homework
                  before it is due.

                  To help you understand what we expect of you, we shall also post examples
                  of quizzes and solutions from previous semesters online before each quiz.
                  With very few exceptions, course materials for IE121, such as
                  announcements, problem sets, solutions etc., will be posted online here.
