  • mathematics, conduct evening help sessions, grade mathematics homework assignments, and coach/tutor public school students in the Mathlete Coaching Program.How do I Become a Statistician?To become a statistician, you must first develop a strong background in the field of mathematics. Once you have a thorough grounding in topics such as calculus and linear algebra, you may begin courses in probability theory, statistical analysis, regression analysis, and even combinatorics. These classes will vary between

  • and physics from Pomona College. Subsequently, he earned an M.S. and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the real UW — the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His mathematics research interests lie at the intersection of graph theory, matrix theory and combinatorics. In addition, he has published work in optimization, statistics and finance. His finance interests include financial asset valuation modeling and the unintended consequences of management and regulatory policy. He has authored more than
