Introduction

Welcome to another content supplement for the STM1001 Science, Health Science and Data Science modules.

Throughout the semester, as we cover different aspects of statistics and data science, supplementary documents such as this one will be used to enhance your learning experience.

This document contains material to support your learning as you complete Computer Labs 7B and 8B of the Science, Health Science or Data Science modules.

We recommend that you take a few minutes to browse the different sections in this document (just click on the sections in the menu bar to your left). You don’t need to read through all this material at once. The suggested readings for Computer Lab 7B are optional but recommended - just make sure you have read everything before beginning Computer Lab 8B.

Remember, you can always refer back to this later in the semester too, if you need to refresh your memory.
