No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1974–75 to 1976–77 (before that, 1972–73 used the number for Quantitative Techniques for Environmental Problems); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
An introduction to scientific method; descriptive and inferential statistics; sampling design. The course emphasizes the methodological and interpretative problems involved in using selected quantitative methods to investigate selected environmental topics. This course is the same as Plan 271 and Geog 271. The Department of Man-Environment Studies strongly recommends that students who have not had Year 5 mathematics take Math 85. 2 hours lecture, 1 hour lab, Fall and Winter term
As printed in the 1974–75 to 1976–77 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
