Learn to apply statistics in geography and GIS with personalized tutoring. Overcome your fears and master quantitative skills for environmental science.
This course is all about using statistics in geography and environmental science. Don't worry if stats seem scary! It walks you through the concepts step-by-step, like having a buddy help you out. You'll get comfy with the tools and even love it by the end!
A college level course on how to apply statistics in geography, GIS and environmental science
Do you struggle with statistics? Do you want to obtain a more quantitative background in the use of statistics in geography, environmental science, and GIS. Or, are you a student who is taking a course in statistics and geography but feel intimidated by the complexities of the subject? No worries. I created this class for you.
This class will walk you through each chapter of my textbook An Introduction to Statistical Problem Solving in Geography, along with the lecture notes I use in my course. It is designed specifically for geographers. So, the course isn't really a math course, but an applied course in statistics for geographers.
You can also think of this course as a personal tutoring session. I will not only go over each chapter, teaching you statistics, but will also work side-by-side with you to use statistical software to recreate examples in the book so that you know how to actually perform the statistical analysis.
At the end of this course you will know how to apply statistics in the field of geography and GIS. And many of my students who were initially intimidated by statistics, find they actually love this subject, and have chosen to refocus their career on quantitative geography.

I got a lot out of this course both in a solid basic statistical review and in putting that within the context of spatial data. Well presented course.
was hoping for some exercises to go along with the lectures
the context and teaching is perfect but the performance and presentations are not good in some videos.
This course was a great introductory. The instructor is super clear and the presentations are to the point. If you don't have a stats background do not worry because the instructor walks through and explains the statistical methods used very clearly. I really enjoyed exploring a variety of geographic problems throughout the course. It really showed the utility of GIS in problem-solving. Definitely would recommend!
So far so good
Curso muito bom!! É abrangente e extremamente explicativo, ainda mais levando-se em conta por abordar temas recorrentes no âmbito da Geografia! Fico grato pelo esforço na elaboração do material e pela disponibilização do curso!
De cursus heeft aan mijn verwachtingen voldaan. Secties 5 en 6 zijn voor mij als geograaf het meest interessant. Voor de eerste 4 secties geldt dat het soms even doorzetten is. Docent Arthur Lembo beaamt dat en hij legt duidelijk uit waarom hij soms wat meer aandacht aan een onderwerp schenkt. Het heeft mij telkens geholpen om bij de les te blijven en het heeft er ook voor gezorgd dat de meest interessante secties voor mij nog beter tot hun recht kwamen.
Great content, but audio could be better thou
Excellent explanation and right approach having right example. Excellent lectures and explaining the application of statistics with example. I can comprehend it easily ,the lectures are not in hush kind, not in rush to complete lecture. Excellent sir! i need more example in multiple correlation and inferential as personal request.

Dear Professor, you have a really good course of Python and that was the reason why i bought this one. Now is 2024 and i guess that this video was record in 2000th, you manually make computations on Excel. You give a good explanation about the theoretical part and it would be nice to see up to now programming as well.
Thank you for sharing your knoledge.
With the hope for getting an updated course,
Nataliia
