MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS

Why the formulas work

Eight optional mathematical units for a first-year statistics learner, with worked calculations, independent exercises and base R verification.

How to study

Read the concept and worked example, reproduce the calculation without looking, then solve the three written exercises. Use the three-question self-check for feedback and optionally run the R script. An introductory learner can remain on the conceptual route instead.

Level and scope

These are independently authored supplements, not an equivalence claim for UCL STAT0002, STAT0003, STAT0004 or the psychology module PALS0046. Mathematical Statistics degree study can require calculus, formal proofs, joint distributions and estimation theory beyond these units.
