“Math is boring. When am I ever going to use it?”
The data can be used by a lot of people for a lot of learning.
My project: I’d like to watch the growth state by state on a daily basis.
- acqq 7y agoIf you want an example of how to do that good, I find this the best: https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest as a simpler start, see the logarithmic chart here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Note how easy is to estimate the time frame in which the next factor of 10 could be reached with the growth that continues. Compare with the logarithmic chart of China: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ Search for the date since when they had their measures applied in Wuhan. Then follow how long it took for them to be visible in the chart. Then mark on the US chart when the measures started. Compare. Also mark the day of the following quote: "And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away." One can learn really a lot just from the data.
