Abstract

The Department of Statistics and Operations Research of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) had its beginning in 1946 as the Department of Mathematical Statistics, under Harold Hotelling. It was then part of the Institute of Statistics, begun by Gertrude Cox in 1942, which established the Triangle area of North Carolina as a focus of statistical research and applications. The department’s expansion and growth included merger with the Department of Operations Research in 2003. Its research and teaching activities now include most areas of theory and applications in probability, statistics, and operations research.
