The Moeller Lab
Numbers are all around us, whether we recognize them or not. Some are obvious: the cost of a gallon of gas, or the temperature forecast for the day. But others are invisible, go unnoticed, or are even avoided. This course seeks to demystify these omnipresent numbers by examining how they are used to build stories about our world, to inform decisions made by policymakers, advertisers, and politicians, and support persuasive arguments (sometimes incorrectly).
