Summary
In this paper I will try to point out the necessity of giving lectures in statistical analysis systems, and that this can only be done when basic knowledge in the field of informatics and statistics is available. The structure of such a course is given and experiences in lecturing the course to different audiences are reported. Integrating statistics and informatics, as it is needed here, seems to be especially successful in curricula focussing on medical applications such as the Medical informatics curriculum at the University of Heidelberg/Heilbronn polytechnical School.
