I am extremely grateful for this entire series. Thank you. I keep revisiting every time I forget a concept or need to brush up. Having taught in a classroom myself, and having gotten many thanks and compliments from my students over the years, I can tell that he has that same attitude that I learned to embrace - making sure that students understand the concepts and do not just blindly memorize equations. I used to teach computer science (data structures, algorithms and oop languages) at Steven’s inst. in Hoboken.

Loved that you captured your audience with the "kissing Statue" in relation to stats..... very engaging :) since statistics in a Phd program is so painful lol

10:20 prerequisites 14:50 explanation of the scientific process a bit before this. On the collection of data --> hypothesis, which will then be proven or disproven by more data

This class sounds amazing, best of two mid terms damn

"Randomness is a big rug in which we sweep everything, we don't understand." Leap of faith. 51:12 - because Real-time observation feels better.

I took stats last year, it was tough! Luckily my school used Lumen which helped a lot! It had practice problems so you can know what you do wrong, so u can go back and work on it before going on to your official home work. I was able to get an A but it was tough and had to put a lot of extra time aside dedicated just to my homework etc because i am very very bad at math. The lumen program really helped a lot

PERSONAL NOTES 1. Say p = 60% from n samples. How many samples would it guarantee that p > 50%? We need a model for this. The goal for our model is that the density must be as narrow as possible (least possible volatility), and the value that we're looking for is as close as it is likely to be. Assumptions: random (good way to model lack of infos, otherwise non-math wouldd suffice), i.i.d,

Lecture aside, I just wanna say that the course structure of 30% assignments, 2x 15% midterms and a 40% Final is very smart. Looks like grading is more focused on learning throughout the semester to engage the students.
