Math/Stats rescources Recommendation

[danieldominey]

What would be the best Math/Stat resources to go beyond the data scientist path?

This year I have completed some early uni/college math and statistics coursses.

I am currently up to linear regression section.

Any recomendation

This would help.

Probability and Statistics: Other study materials/resources

I’m a big fan of Jason Brownlee and his incredible blog, Machine Learning Mastery. IMO, it’s important reading for people in the data science and data analysis space, because he writers excellent blog posts and ebooks about topics that touch on both topics. He teaches all these topics through Python programming, which makes it really useful for people looking to continue to improve thinking programmatically in Python. I find his teaching style very much in-line with Dataquest’s approach and prin…

Probability and Statistics: Other study materials/resources

Hi @menon.aj, As you said, Khan academy is a great source to learn probability and statistics concepts. (I have followed their linear algebra materials and it was very helpful to visualize problems). In addition to that, if you are looking into solving more problems by hand to reinforce already built concepts, you can try the following book: Schaum’s Outline of Probability and Statistics by John Schiller, Alu Srinivasan and Murray Spiegel Amazon link Also, I found a hackerrank tutorial chall…

It’s not clear to me what you mean with Math/Stat.

In any case, if you want to learn mathematics — real mathematics (not the one geared towards machine learning (which is frequently hand-wavy and in many cases just applied mathematics)) — properly and get a very solid foundation, my best recommendation is How to Prove It: A Structured Approach.

It was the most influential book in my career as a student, and it helped polish my reasoning mechanisms overall.
This book equips the reader with a skill set to understand the logical components of mathematics, to reason in that same manner, and it boosts critical thinking overall, I would say.

Here’s an excerpt from the author’s academic personal page:

Many high school students view mathematics as a collection of formulas to be used to calculate numerical answers. To succeed in college-level mathematics, they must learn to think of mathematics as involving reasoning, rather than merely calculation. In advanced undergraduate courses, they must learn to express their reasoning in the form of mathematical proofs. In my teaching, I try to help students make this transition from calculation to reasoning to proofs. I put particular emphasis on making sure students understand the meaning of mathematical language and the importance of using that language precisely.

May be little outside, but all data science must have clean data.
Very useful book with practical example of regular expression for bash, Python, R, perl and Java:
REGULAR EXPRESSIONS Pocket Primer by Oswald Campesato
2019 ISBN: 978-1-68392-227-8
Strongly recommend
