 PREFACE

The complementary course of Statistics taught to the Undergraduate Departments of

Mathematics and Physics is designed with the objective of creating a better understanding
of Statistics among the future generations which would equip them to be better citizens of
tomorrow. The curriculum is framed to equip students to grasp the basic concepts of
Statistics and in addition to have a broader vision. A dynamic curriculum accommodates
first faced developments in the knowledge of the subject concerned by introducing
innovative concepts, multidisciplinary profile and standard education.The course aims to
develop critical thinking among the students so as to make them understand the real gap
between theoretical components and its actual practice.
