Math for programmers
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Surfing around before bedtime I stumbled upon this blog: Math for Programmers.
I liked it a lot and agree on most points in it.
Then, I started thinking about my own introduction to statistics. I had the mandatory classes on probability and statistics while doing my comp. science degree and pretty much hated the stats. part of it (less so the probability, ’cause I have a soft spot for pure math). It wasn’t until I really needed to know stats. for my own work I started getting into it, and then I found that it was actually pretty easy. I guess most things get a lot easier once you are motivated for it…
