SCI2136 Astronomy and Statistics: AstroStats

It's not science unless you quantify your errors. Learn statistics and error analysis by studying our dynamic solar system. The first half of the class will provide you with a toolbox of standard statistical methods. You will learn these methods by studying data from planets, moons, and asteroids. The second half consists of student-designed projects. Your project will investigate an element of our solar system, and will include rigorous error analysis. This course will use data from NASA and ESA missions.
