Description

Statistics

You need to think like a scientist before you can become a scientist. Statistics trains your mind to frame problems as hypotheses and gives you techniques to test these hypotheses, just like a scientist.


Mathematics

Learning the tools is the first step to doing data science. You must first see the big picture to then examine the parts in detail.

We take a detailed look specifically at calculus and linear algebra as they are the subfields data science relies on.

Why learn it?

Probability, Calculus and linear algebra are essential for programming in data science. If you want to understand advanced machine learning algorithms, then you need these skills in your arsenal.


Advanced Statistics

Regressions, clustering, and factor analysis are all disciplines that were invented before machine learning. However, now these statistical methods are all performed through machine learning to provide predictions with unparalleled accuracy. This section will look at these techniques in detail.
