Member-only story
Whilst I have striven to educate myself these past six decades, I have realised that there is a lot I don’t know. In addition, education has moved on over the years and is continuously endeavouring to improve their teaching methods.
Statistics is integrally linked to data science, so I decided to watch the free course on YouTube, entitled, “Statistics with Python”, presented by the University of Michigan through Coursera. Because the course is now on YouTube, I did not have to pay for it.
This is a review of the first of a three video series of Statistics with Python.
I do have to say the course was easier for me to assimilate into my thoughts than the courses I have taken with other education providers, but this may be because we use statistics in our day to day lives.
So here goes: in the next paragraphs I will present to you a summation of what I learned in the first of three of those videos:-
Statistics involves all of the aspects of learning from data.
Python slowly became a machine learning program, which is why it is the language used in this course.
Data can be anything, such as:-
- Numbers
- Images
- Words
