MATH 346: Mathematical and Statistical Software

Course home for MATLAB, R, reproducible computation, and responsible AI-assisted workflows.

MATH 346

Mathematical and statistical software for students who need to compute, analyze, visualize, and explain results they can defend.

This course uses MATLAB and R, with generative AI treated as a professional assistant whose output must be tested, interpreted, and documented.

Course Workflow

1. Ask a precise question.
2. Choose a computational representation.
3. Write or adapt code.
4. Check the result.
5. Communicate the conclusion.
6. Document any AI assistance.

Start Here

• Colleagues reviewing the prototype can start with the instructor preview.
• Follow the redesign through the instructor progress page.
• Read the syllabus.
• Read the AI use policy.
• Follow the weekly materials.
• Use the labs for guided practice.
• Use the projects pages for the two major submissions.

Course Question

The central question of the course is not “Can I make MATLAB or R run?”

It is:

Can I turn a mathematical or statistical question into a reproducible computational answer that is correct, interpretable, and honestly communicated?
