The vision of the NTU-USP is “to nurture creative and reflective global citizens devoted to
understanding the social, cultural, economic, and environmental forces that give shape to our
ever-changing world.” Of the many skills and qualities such a citizen will possess, one key feature
is the ability to reason with big data as well as information and arguments involving numbers. We
will be identifying principles that help guide our understanding about claims supported by
quantitative information. This will include both practicing computational skills in basic probability,
statistics, and data visualization as well as critically reading and writing about quantitative
information from scholarly and non-scholarly sources.
