    The STAT 1028 honors section covers many of the same topics as STAT 1020 (such as multiple linear and logistic regression) and is designed for students who have studied calculus and are seeking a class with mathematical content. The class will assume good command of the material in MATH 1070 or MATH 1400 as a prerequisite. STAT 1028 is particularly recommended for students who are considering the concentration or minor in statistics and data science or other quantitative fields (such as quantitative finance).
