MATH Statistics 3: Game Theory AP Statistics:
Advanced Topics in Statistics This course will add both breadth and depth to the skills and knowledge previously developed in the two prerequisite statistics courses (Statistics I and II) and is primarily designed for students intending to earn college credit, either by taking the College Board’s Advanced Placement Statistics Exam in May or by taking statistics as part of the SOU Advanced Southern Credit program. Advanced topics in statistics include the linear transformation and/or combination of random variables, residual-plots used in the evaluation of a regression analysis, and the inferential tools that help statisticians determine the association between two variables or the homogeneity of a particular population. Students will broaden their understanding of confidence intervals and expand their repertoire of tests of significance.

A recent arrival in the historical development of mathematics, game theory, the study of strategic interactive decision making among individuals, has an incredibly wide range of application. It can provide us with insight as to how bacteria develop drug resistance, why steroids are so common in professional athletics, why a gazelle will sometimes jump straight up in the air when pursued by a cheetah, why certain countries (ours included) refuse to adopt the metric system, and why Windows ended up as the operating system for most PCs. Pressing problems of global warming, overfishing of international waters, and traffic congestion can also be explained and analyzed from a game theory perspective. And, since different problems often share a common underlying structure, specific examples can be generalized to fit many other situations. This course is intended as a first introduction to the world of strategic decision making. Nevertheless, it is suggested that students taking the course have a background in both algebra and probability theory.
