Real Data and Real Solutions in MATH 527
On a cloudy afternoon this past December, a group of McGill students gathered in a downtown Montréal boardroom to give a data science presentation to Citera, a sustainability analytics company. This presentation wasn’t for an internship or any other extracurricular activity – it was part of one of McGill’s newest and most innovative courses: MATH 527, Statistical Data Science Practicum.

Machine learning relies heavily on probabilistic optimization algorithms.
While machine learning papers are written at a staggering rate, there is much less foundational mathematical work that addresses the success of machine learning.

Rustum Choksi: Winner, Principal’s Prize for Excellence in Teaching (Full Professor)
Students coming from high school often arrive with specific – and mistaken – expectations of the mathematics classroom. In Rustum Choksi’s courses he emphasizes a pedagogical paradigm shift, whereby mathematics is not about memorization nor symbolic manipulations and calculations but rather a beautiful and diverse discipline which is often a means to understanding our complex world.
