Probability and statistics : a modular system of instruction at the University of J. E. Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem

Abstract

Probability and Statistics courses are offered at three colleges of the University of J.E. Purkyne in Usti nad Labem and at the Institute of Engineering Technology. These courses make part of the required curricula for several majors at different educational levels (baccalaureate, master’s and engineering). Such wide range of coverage requires extensive personnel, technical and financial support. The Department of Mathematics utilized the Fund for Development of College Education in Czech Republic to develop a system of modular instruction for the courses of Probability and Statistics. This systems integrates requirements of individual majors with interests of all involved parties. At the same time, the system provides sufficient flexibility for all stakeholders to meet their specific needs and requirements.
