Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

Probability theory and mathematical statistics is a complicated course, which has the characteristics of systematic and logical.Currently, the teaching of probability theory and mathematical statistics for Non-statistics Majors is an important problem in engineering mathematics education of our country.This paper puts forward the idea of introducing mathematical experiment method into the teaching process, advocating the use of the concept map, using computer assisted instruction method, instilling the idea of mathematical modeling, introducing the idea of statistical modeling and adding the topic teaching concept to optimize and enrich the teaching means and method, so as to stimulate the interest of students' learning probability theory and mathematical statistics to tap the potential of the students as far as possible.Accordingly, the teaching of the course is more effective, and the teaching quality is also improved.
