Quantitative Reasoning & Statistical Methods for Planners I
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this graduate-level course from the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, covering elementary statistics, probability, and quantitative reasoning applied to description, estimation, comparison, and explanation. The course builds skills for constructing logical, empirically grounded arguments using statistical and analytic techniques, with attention to where these methods work well in planning practice and where they break down. Materials include lecture notes, assignments, and readings drawn from MIT's actual course offering, free to access under an open license. No certificate is offered, since this is a self-paced archive of course materials rather than an instructor-led session, but the full syllabus and problem sets give a genuine picture of a semester-long quantitative methods course for planners.
