Matt Hester

Statistician · Teacher · Researcher

I am a statistician and teacher at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, where I teach mathematics and statistics and direct the Math Assistance Center. My work spans bias-robust Bayesian evidence synthesis, statistics education, and human-governed systems for building durable, reproducible course materials.

This site brings together my research, teaching, and public course-material portfolio.

Teaching

Ten public course-material sites, my teaching approach, and the Math Assistance Center.

Research

Bias-robust Bayesian evidence synthesis, publication bias, corpus-scale evidential auditing, and human-governed AI infrastructure.

Course Builder

A developing course-design harness for coherent, reproducible, and reviewable AI-assisted curriculum work.

Featured course sites

These are the two featured current-course sites. The Teaching page collects the full ten-site public course-material portfolio; roster- and section-specific material lives in the LMS, not here.

$Course identity hero for Intro to Mathematical Software — a blue-violet crystal cluster surrounded by mathematical software, workflow, simulation, and version-control graphics, with the course title.$

Intro to Mathematical Software — LaTeX, R, Quarto, reproducible workflow, and careful AI-assisted work.

Intro to Statistics — data, evidence, models, uncertainty, and simulation.
