Course Description
Mathematics of Human Behavior is a transdisciplinary project-based course that connects the standards of AP Statistics with the context of AP Psychology. We will cover research methods, the relationship between identity development and probability, and how statistical inference and cognitive biases interact in the brain to complicate human decision-making. The course will have strong philosophical, historical, and ethical components. We will also touch on some mathematical ideas outside of the AP Statistics standards.
Assessment
A variety of ongoing and frequent assessments, both formative and summative, will be used to develop each student’s ability to communicate and apply their understanding of topics studied.
