Mathematical Methods in Psychological Science

PSYC-4350

This course will provide students with a systematic overview of practical and important mathematical tools and skills used in modern psychological sciences. Students completing the course will gain experience using mathematical tools drawn from diverse fields including calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, nonlinear optimization, and other closely related disciplines. Rather than providing complete coverage of each field or focusing on formal proofs, the goal will be to provide students with the essential elements necessary to understand and use these tools to solve current and outstanding problems in the field today. This class will be hands-on, using examples drawn from across the cognitive sciences. Students will also gain experience implementing mathematical models in the R programming language.
