Women in Mathematics Public Lecture

Public lecture by eminent statistician, University of Georgia professor and UNSW alumnus, Lynne Billard.

Abstract: Whatever our interests may be, whether they be the social sciences, medical sciences, history, physical sciences, mathematical sciences, and so on, statistics and statisticians have a role to play in helping us decipher the information pertaining to those interests that surround us daily.

Against the backdrop of a brief historical view of its applications, the role of mathematics and statistics in a variety of situations is illustrated, including cases where the obvious technique is not necessarily the best analysis to employ.
