Introduction
A series where we explore some key mathematical/statistical concepts that may apply to Marxe grad courses such as 9170, 9172, 9165, 9177, 9270, 9271 , and 9272 . If you are currently taking a stats-based course, or if you just want to review previously learned material, this workshop might be a great complement to lectures, tutoring, and self-study.
