About

Have a background in statistics or took AP Statistics? Ever interested in computer science?

This course is for you. We will study probability and inference with an emphasis on computing. We will explore the use of Python, SciPy, Numpy and Pandas, and write a few packages. If enough demand, we will also explore Pytorch and/or Tensorflow.

By the end of this course, you should:
- Be able to use Python and statistics packages to run tests for data validation and/or probability
- Gain insight on how statistical packages are written.
