Overview

Explore advanced integration techniques and applications in statistics through a comprehensive 3.5-hour tutorial. Delve into complex topics such as the 2nd Mean Value Theorem, Riemann-Stieltjes Integration, Fourier Series, and the Law of the Unconscious Statistician (LOTUS). Master the intricacies of bivariate normal distributions, including probability calculations and integration methods. Learn to apply these concepts to real-world problems, such as deriving moment-generating functions for non-central chi-square distributions. Gain practical skills in using R for bivariate normal probability calculations. Cover additional mathematical tools like Gaussian integrals, spherical coordinates, and the Beta function. Conclude with solving challenging calculus problems, including a viral ATM card PIN number question using trigonometric functions.
