ISYE2027 is listed as equivalent to Emory's Probabilities and Statistics course, not the Mathematical Statistics I course I took. ***** I have reached out to GT instructors of MATH 3235 who have confirmed it is worth perusing credit for MATH 3235 because of the alignment of topics covered in MATH 361. ***** ISYE 2027 does not represent the work I did with proofs, joint densities, transformations of random variables, order statistics, conditional densities, moment-generating functions, and convergence. ***** The syllabus lists 18 contact hours because the course was taken over the summer (vs MATH 3235's 35 hours). However, we received an asynchronous lecture in addition to each in-person lecture to ensure we covered the same material as would be covered in a typical semester - as represented by a portion of the grade coming from video quizzes. ***** I have also reached out to the MATH 361 professor whom I took the class with and she suggested I pursue credit for MATH 3235 instead of ISYE 2027. *****

ISYE 2027 credit is granted and already listed on the equivalency table so no need to submit an evaluation request

It is worth noting explicitly that the course did not simply involve the application of statistics. Coursework included proofs and derivations of the topics discussed.

The current transfer equivalency table lists Emory's MATH 361 as "Probability and Statistics," but the course I took at Emory is actually titled "Mathematical Statistics I" (as shown in the syllabus). Emory's MATH 361 is part of a two-course sequence in mathematical statistics, and it serves as a prerequisite for MATH 362 (Mathematical Statistics II). This sequence aligns closely with Georgia Tech’s probability and statistics theory courses, specifically MATH 3235 (Probability Theory) and MATH 3236 (Statistical Theory). Currently, Emory’s MATH 362 has an approved transfer equivalency with Georgia Tech’s MATH 3236 (Statistical Theory). Since MATH 3236 (Statistical Theory) at Georgia Tech is typically taken in sequence after MATH 3235 (Probability Theory), it would be consistent to equate Emory’s MATH 361 (Mathematical Statistics I) with Georgia Tech’s MATH 3235 (Probability Theory). The content of Emory's MATH 361 matches 1 to 1 with the topics outlined in Georgia Tech's MATH 3235 syllabus. Emory’s MATH 361 course syllabus states that the course “deals primarily with continuous probability theory”, showing its parallel coverage of the continuous probability topics emphasized in Georgia Tech’s MATH 3235.
