Math Electives: Probability and statistics

Combinatorics, game theory, measure-based probability and applied statistics.

Combinatorics, game theory, measure-based probability and applied statistics. An elective area: finish one outcome in each of the 6 areas, then 3 more in one area you choose to go deep in. Free courses, a free self-check for each, and real work confirmed by 3 people. Part of the Varsity Curriculum: Mathematics, adapted from OSSU Math (MIT License).
