  1. RBIF-0103-G1 Probability and StatisticsProf. M. PartenskyBrandeis University - Spring 2003 Group Project Using Statistics and Mathematica to Analyze Body Temperatures Vaishali Khamamkar Timothy Foley

  2. Statistics and Mathematica in the Biological Sciences • Our Audience • Biologists – Interested in the science we are presenting • Mathematicians – Interested in the statistics and mathematics that we use • Computer Scientists – Interested in our use of the Mathematica software package

  3. Study area – The measure of Human and Animal Body Temperature • Predicting Ovulation with Basal Body Temperature • Human Body Temperature – the Myth of 98.6° Fahrenheit • Squirrel Temperature – Hibernation

  4. Concluding Remarks • We found several interesting areas of study related to body temperature • We learned things that we did not know or expect • Our knowledge of Statistics was broadened by this project • We found Mathematica to be a powerful and useful tool (once we got the hang of it!)
