HLSC 2700U – Mathematical Reasoning in Health Sciences

In this course, we explore quantitative reasoning in the health sciences. It is designed as an introductory course to prepare students for upper division courses in statistics and research. In addition, this course will help students develop broader perspectives and appreciation of how and why to use mathematical reasoning and analyses in real-world problems related to healthcare and the health sciences. Students will learn technical writing and critical appraisal of research articles, with a special focus on the mathematical skills required to interpret research literature. Simulations of healthcare scenarios will be used to provide learning environments in which students develop quantitative reasoning skills.
