Various phenomena in real life, which assume some degree of uncertainty, can be described by abstract mathematical models from the Probability Theory. Statistics provides certain tools, which enable us to to say something about the underlying mathematical model based on the data that has been observed.

Introduction to mathematical statistics that develops probability as needed; includes the calculus of probability, random variables, expectation, distribution functions, central limit theorem, point estimation, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Offers a basic one-term introduction to statistics and also prepares students for STAT 410. Same as MATH 463. 4 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: MATH 241 or equivalent. Students must register for one discussion and one lecture section.

Introduction to the design of metal structures; behavior of members and their connections; theoretical, experimental, and practical bases for proportioning members and their connections. 3 undergraduate hours. No graduate credit. Prerequisite: CEE 360.

This course provides a detailed introduction to the biology of stem cell and regenerative medicine. The topics include stem cell types and sources (embryonic stem cell, tissue stem cell and iPS cell), stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, stem cell niche. We will also cover main aspects of regenerative medicine, especially the novel strategies to regenerate cell and organ,biomaterial and bionanotechnology. Another theme of this course is cancer biology, focusing on cancer initiation and metastasis, cancer stem cell and tumor heterogeneity, cancer therapy and drug resistance.

Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine 4 will be a 20 credit, semester 1-only, SCQF level 10 course that will begin in academic year 2019-20. The new course will be an elective course for students on the ZJE Integrative Biomedical Sciences degree programme.This course provides a detailed introduction to the biology of stem cells, including stem cell types and sources, self-renewal, differentiation and lineage commitment.

This course provides students with basic concepts and tools in stochastic modeling and relative applications. Topics include: introductive probability theory, Markov chains, random walks, Poisson processes, continuous time Markov chains, and renewal processes. Emphasis is on understanding when and how to apply appropriate stochastic models. Discussions on ethical issues are integrated throughout the course. This course will enhance skills in critical thinking, as well as oral and written communication. Techniques learned in this course can be immediately put to use by the student.

Strategy is concerned with the long-term success of defining an organization’s direction and scope to gain competitive advantage. Strategic management has been developed to help top managers make better strategic decisions with concepts and tools. This course which combines a high standard of academic rigor with a practical approach will help you to understand, in depth, the whole process of strategic management.

Strategic Management is one of the most cross-functional management course, which emphasizes the comprehensive application of basic knowledge in core courses of the discipline. The basic question to be answered in this course is how an enterprise could gain its sustainable competitive advantage in a dynamic environment. This course will spotlight some of the important issues in strategic management by concentrating on modern analytical tools and successful strategic practices, particularly those tools and practices that focus on the evolving nature of global business competition.
