Research on Visualization Teaching of Teaching Difficulties in Mathematical Statistics Based on MATLAB

As a compulsory professional course for statistics majors, the course of mathematical statistics plays a significant role in helping students build a systematic theoretical framework of statistics, cultivating their ability to master data analysis methods, and fostering applied talents. Traditional teaching of mathematical statistics often encounters many difficulties due to its abstract concepts and complex logic. To address the problem point that students have difficulty understanding abstract theorems and concepts, this paper takes the distribution of sample means and the p-value in hypothesis testing as examples to explore the use of MATLAB’s powerful computing and graphic visualization functions, transforming abstract theorems and complex calculations into intuitive dynamic graphics, so as to deepen students’ understanding of core statistical ideas.
