CS lad here wanting to into Data Science. I’ve been reviewing my Linear Algebra and want to move onto Statistics next. Any recommendations?

I would recommend two books to use in conjunction:
Probability Theory: A Comprehensive Course by Achim Klenke
A First Course in Probability by Sheldon Ross

Also don't study data science. It's boring and a meme. CS theory is way better

Thank you friend

If you know Excel very well you can fake your way through a lot of data science

No, you really can't.

Also, "data science" is a meme, a buzzword used by brainlets who don't understand what statisticians really do.

DS here

Depends on what you want to do specifically, DS is a big broad meme field

Python and SQL are essential skills, a lower level language would be good too.

ML is good to know, do some courses. If you want to go into that side, get some experience with AWS infrastructure

>> No.10534465

I'd also say, incidentally, that DS is a field where you need to be good at company politics

Data Science is a reputation thing, if you fuck up once too often people won't trust your figures, so you're dead in the water.

Other teams will gun for you as well because "but you're not DOING anything" (ie jelly), engineers are bad for this. If you can navigate the politics you can stay alive and produce some good shit, but I've also experienced situations where it goes the other way

I'm interested in understanding the methods and working on supporting infrastructure.
My background is embedded systems and I've mostly worked with C and Python in the past. I've take courses on ML and Deep Learning and am trying to understand the theory better so I can develop my own models.

drop out and teach yourself. google exists in 2019. make publications in data science

Yeah because Medium is just crying out for another mountain of Data Science 101 articles people write to show they're "active" in DS

Not that you can't go publish something cool, but just don't do the lazy retard way of writing articles on how to download Anaconda
