About
Quantitative reasoning is like many other skills. It requires practice and an appreciation for the utility of mathematical tools and strategies. Our web site focuses on biological problem solving using data.
Resources such as this Excel worksheet model for Testing Hardy Weinberg are accessible as open educational resources. In addition, you can download a variety of biological data such as the classic Mendel pea traits or contemporary West Nile Virus sequences for the envelope protein.
Links to social networking sites focusing on data such as Gapminder, online interdisciplinary resources such as OER Commons, and modeling tools such as ESTEEM are posted. We invite user comments and sharing of classroom materials.
We encourage the use of statistics for hypothesis testing. Here is a thumbnail view of our conceptual model of statistics. Each color group represents specific strategies in an exploration of data. To learn more, select Resources in the menubar above and choose the Statistics model.
