available to cover the estimated cost of $1,000 ($800. tuition;
STAT $200 books) plus paid salary (32 hours per week). has
been sponsored by the Agency during June-December 1987. She will
have completed 27 credits of mathematics by,mid-December.
2. The Statistical Analysis Staff, CPAS is responsible for
performing statistical reviews of all DI, NIC, STIC, and TTIC
accuracy, consistency, and soundness of methodology.
STAT a GS-09 statistician, is a member of the NIC Support
Branch t at performs statistical reviews of highly technical
STAT products from OSWR, OGI, and SOVA. The courses that
will be taking will enable her not only to be more effective in
this review process, but the mathematics and regional familiari-
zation courses will enable her to demonstrate more analytical
depth in her reviews, especially in the area of methodologies (see

Spring Courses
Math 305 Discrete Mathematical Structures
Math 319 Introduction to Applied Mathematics, Part II
These courses will cover higher order differentiation;
integrals and series; complex analysis; special functions; and
mathematical topics. With greater knowledge and know-how in
these subjects, I will be able to better understand concepts
and methodologies presented in the extremely mathematical and
scientific papers published by several offices in the DI (for
example, OSWR and SOVA).
Math 442 Operations Research, Part II
This course is a survey of probabilistic methods for
solving real- world decision problems with emphasis on modeling
and will enable me to better grasp the interrelationship of
variables in the modeling that the DI engages in.
History 329 Modern Russia in the Soviet Union
This course describes the current political realities in
the Soviet Union and will enable me to better understand and
review the numerous intelligence assessments produced by SOVA
and LDA on the USSR.
