That is essentially how Allen Downey approaches statistical education: the analytical solutions came first because we lacked the computational power. Now that we have cheap computation, we should exploit that to develop better intuition. His Bayesian book[0] is available as Jupyter notebooks.

- analog31 5y agoThat's pretty cool. I actually would like to see K-12 math education use more computation and data, with less of a focus on algebra (expression manipulation). This would be more reflective of how regular people, including STEM people, use math outside of school.
- in9 5y agoIt is a very good idea, but some resources can give very wrong/opaque views about procedures, by showing only model.fit(X,y) and model.predict(X).
