DIMASC

Dartmouth Innovations in Mathematical and Statistical Consulting (DIMASC) is a hub for University of Massachusetts Dartmouth faculty and students engaged in mathematical and statistical consulting in a broad sense.

We are interested in mathematical and statistical consulting:

  • within the University, for faculty and students engaged in research
  • for companies and organizations external to the University
  • as it impacts:
    • our undergraduate and graduate teaching 
    • the teaching of mathematics and statistics in schools

“Our job is not to prepare students to use data to answer a question that matters; our job is to help them use data to answer a question that matters. In short, teach through research.” Cobb, G. (2015). Mere renovation is too little too late: We need to rethink our undergraduate curriculum from the ground upThe American Statistician, 69(4), 266-282.
