Overview of statistical methods used in collecting, tabulating, analyzing, and presenting data. Topics include frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, elementary probability, statistical inference, ANOVA, and statistical software.

Course Objective: This course is an introduction to basic algebra; elements of probability and statistics; and basic concepts of Euclidean geometry, including congruence, similarity, measurements, areas, and volumes.

It explains the background for the origin of Mercantilism in the form of Commercial Revolution. It also helps to understand the main ideas and the main thinkers of Mercantilism as well as its implementation in some countries.

This presentation briefly reviews MLA Works Cited and In-text Citations, 8th edition. It entails basic MLA formatting rules, common types of resources used in a works cited, and several examples of both works cited and in-text citations.

Mushroom Cultivation Technology Course provides a detailed information on1. the types of different edible and poisonous mushrooms,2. mushrooms available in India3. Cultivation technology of mushrooms4. storage &Utilization of Mushrooms5. Export value of mushrooms

These are materials that may be used in a CS0 course as a light introduction to machine learning.

The materials are mostly Jupyter notebooks which contain a combination of labwork and lecture notes. There are notebooks on Classification, An Introduction to Numpy, and An Introduction to Pandas.

There are also two assessments that could be assigned to students. One is an essay assignment in which students are asked to read and respond to an article on machine bias. The other is a lab-like exercise in which students use pandas and numpy to extract useful information about subway ridership in NYC. This assignment uses public data provided by NYC concerning entrances and exits at MTA stations.

This OER material was produced as a result of the CS04ALL CUNY OER project

Lecture Objective: Introduce geography as a potentially deep determinant of growth and expose students to questions in the cutting edge of the field.

The lesson incorporates a few MRU videos about geography and growth from our Principles of Macroeconomics and Development Economics video courses. We also mix in discussion prompts, exercises, practice questions, graphs and charts, and pre- and post-class assignments. Finally, we provide supplementary resources such as additional data sources, relevant news articles and blog posts, and two podcast episodes

Lecture Objective: Introduce students to the super simple Solow model. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to identify inputs to growth, solve for the steady state, and identify the factors that lead to conditional convergence.

The lesson incorporates a number of MRU’s videos about the Solow model and conditional convergence from our Principles of Macroeconomics video course. We also mix in discussion prompts, exercises, practice questions, graphs and charts, and pre- and post-class assignments. Finally, we provide supplementary resources such as additional data sources, relevant articles and blog posts, an episode of Planet Money, and even an interview with Robert Solow himself.

Lecture Objective: Students are able to identify incentives and factors that increase the production of ideas, and list the costs and benefits of using patents, prizes, and subsidies to increase idea creation.

The lesson incorporates a number of MRU’s videos about the economics of ideas from our Principles of Macroeconomics video course, as well as a TED-talk on the topic. We also mix in discussion prompts, exercises, practice questions, graphs and charts, and pre- and post-class assignments. Finally, we provide supplementary resources such as additional data sources, relevant articles and blog posts, a few episodes of Planet Money, and even an interview with Robert Solow himself.

What is Marginal Revolution University (MRU)?

Many of us can remember our first great economics teacher who fundamentally changed how we see the world. At MRU, we try and deliver that experience to millions worldwide through video.

Founded as a nonprofit in 2012 by George Mason University economics professors Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, MRU is building the world’s largest online library of free economics education videos -- currently weighing in at more than 800 videos.

This coursework gives description on concepts of macroeconomics topics like economic science, economic problem, demand and supply, mixed capitalism, national income accounting, business cycle, classical keynesian theory, fiscal policy, money, federal reserve system, monetary policy, supply side economics, economic growth etc.

These Guided Notes are note-taking frameworks for Macroeconomics, corresponding to OpenStax Macroeconomics 2e (or the corresponding chapters of OpenStax Principles of Economics). They contain the structure for students to actively engage with the material while in lecture or while reading.

The notes were authored by Kevin Cook of Des Moines Area Community College.

Open courseware for Macroevolution, focusing on research methods and software packages, such as R.

Course description
Evolutionary thinking provides the underpinnings of modern biology. In recent decades, the field of macroevolution (evolution above the species level) has matured into a rich discipline with a well-developed mathematical theory for testing hypotheses of species diversification, for understanding trait evolution, and evaluating patterns of covariation across the tree of life. This course will provide a synthetic view of biology and how life on earth has changed over time.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students will:
Understand patterns of diversity in the fossil record, and changes in that diversity over time
Understand macroevolutionary patterns and processes, and the difference between gradualism, stasis, and punctuated equilibrium
Become familiar with ‘tree thinking’, and understand the principles of using a phylogenetic perspective to address evolutionary questions in biology
Gain experience in applying cutting-edge phylogenetic methods for testing hypotheses in macroevolution
