Math Refresher

Math Refresher is an optional, noncredit, self-paced online course that will help refresh your memory about math skills. The course is designed to be helpful preparation for introductory courses in biostatistics and epidemiology, but students in all degree programs who would benefit from a review of math basics are welcome and encouraged to join.

The math refresher course is presented online, in two parts. There are three introductory modules for those who want to brush up on elementary concepts before diving into the course material. The main part of the course comprises four modules, consisting of lectures and homework (optional, unless your admission includes a contingency to take Math Refresher). This part focuses on more advanced mathematical skills relevant to your future coursework.
