A Computer Lab For Biological Statistics

9350746汉普顿现代生物学研究及其技术应用在很大程度上依赖于我们理解数学概念、应用统计推理以及通过使用计算机处理和解释数据的能力。本项目旨在提高本科生的这些技能。一个关键的组成部分是一个新的计算机实验室，它包括联网的微型计算机和特定课堂练习所需的软件包。生物统计学是所有生物专业的必修课程，是运用计算机的主要本科课程。此外，正在开发计算机辅助练习，以提高对基本生物学原理、科学方法或对生物学家特别重要的具体定量技能的理解。＊＊＊

9350746 Hampton Modern biological research and its technological applications have come to rely heavily on our abilities to understand mathematical concepts, apply statistical reasoning, and process and interpret data through the use of computers. This project is designed to enhance these skills among undergraduate students. A key component is a new computer laboratory which includes microcomputers networked together plus software packages needed for specific classroom exercises. The principal undergraduate course that utilizes the computers, Biological Statistics, is a required course for all biology majors. Also, computer-assisted exercises are being developed to improve understanding of fundamental biological principles, the scientific method, or specific quantitative skills of particular importance to biologists. ***
