Develop or apply mathematical or statistical theory and methods to collect, organize, interpret, and summarize numerical data to provide usable information. May specialize in fields such as biostatistics, agricultural statistics, business statistics, or economic statistics. Includes mathematical and survey statisticians.

STA Transit System Health
2025 (IEEE publication)
Partner: Spokane Transit Authority
Stochastic modeling of transit ridership and system health. EWU students built prognostics models predicting transit system stress; work was published at an IEEE conference.
Demonstrate the ability to analyze algorithms to interpolate data with polynomials.
Employ the appropriate numerical technique to approximate a solution of an initial value problem, boundary value problem, or partial differential equation, with careful consideration of initial or boundary data.
Demonstrate knowledge of relationships between exponents and logarithms and their derivatives
Compute volumes using a variety of methods
Apply differential and integral calculus techniques to trigonometric functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions and the inverses of these functions
Implement an iterative method to solve a problem (e.g. matrix decomposition, solution of a linear system of equations, determining eigenpairs of a matrix)

Where to focus your applied learning
(2 taskes without course evidence yet)
These O*NET tasks don't have direct course-objective evidence in the
Math BS catalog yet. Each is an opportunity to gain hands-on
preparation through an applied project, MAA-sponsored partnership,
elective, or internship. The "What EWU
math students are doing right now" panel above shows examples of
exactly this kind of project-driven learning.
Plan data collection methods for specific projects, and determine the types and sizes of sample groups to be used. (importance 3.8/5)
Supervise and provide instructions for workers collecting and tabulating data. (importance 3.0/5)

How we connect courses to occupations.
Course catalog descriptions and program-level learning outcomes are
indexed alongside O*NET task statements. Where a course's language
aligns with a task an occupation requires, we mark it as evidence
of preparation. Faculty review each candidate match and either
confirm or veto it; only confirmed matches surface in totals.
