Geometry, trigonometry, and statistics
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course covers the following:
- Vectors in the plane and space, scalar and vector product, equations for lines and planes, distances between points, lines, and planes in space.
- Elementary Euclidean geometry and trigonometry.
- Spherical geometry and trigonometry.
- Descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency, and measures of dispersion.
- Basic probability theory.
- Some discrete and some continuous distributions, e.g., the normal distribution.
- Expected value, variance, standard deviation.
- Point estimates and confidence intervals.
