Math Camp 2019
University of Washington Seattle Campus
September 9 – 13, 2019
Lecture: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Lab: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Deadline: Applications due by September 6, 2019
Math Camp is an intensive one-week introduction to fundamental concepts of mathematics and probability designed to help prepare social science graduate students for advanced courses in statistical methodology in general, and CSSS courses in particular. Math Camp does not assume prior exposure to this material, but does assume basic math skills through high school algebra. The idea of math camp is to provide students with the conceptual foundation, basic tools, and confidence necessary to successfully undertake future study of statistics in the social sciences. It will also provide lecture notes and web materials for students to refresh their memories of key concepts and tools before embarking on CSSS courses.
Who should attend:
Math Camp is designed for social science graduate students interested in pursuing a quantitatively-oriented research career. The curriculum is particularly appropriate for students in the early years of study in social science departments with CSSS tracks, but is open to any entering or current UW graduate students.
Attending math camp will help prepare students for advanced statistics courses taught by CSSS.
