That would push things towards the mean... not necessarily a bad thing, but presumably later steps of the analysis will be pooling/averaging data together so not that useful. A more interesting approach, let's call it OPTION2, wou

Me too. I do a lot of text editing on a daily basis and I find I gain at least +10 IQ points when I print out the text and review on paper. My colleague swears by her iPad, but I always go the paper route.

CMapTools (the software made by ihmc.us) is one of the best tools for creating concept maps. Nice to see cmaps explained well. If you're interested in seeing some examples, you can check out the following cmaps from my books: High Scho

There is a related video by Prof. Courtney Gibbons about the feeling of "Math is hard" and how you just have to get used to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kenf8E1RuoA I send this to students who feel discoura

I believe a decade from now we'll see the "unbundling" of the three types of value universities provide: /1/ employability signal, /2/ knowledge, /3/ social. I don't know what will replace

It's not a complete book, but the topics it covers are well explained. Maybe the fact it is concise is a feature—you can quickly get an overview of each topic, without all the details a textbook author would have to cover... Here is a

It would be nice if you have a contiguous time to sit and learn CALC, but it's not required. You can think of it as a Mario World level with several stages, that you can complete one at a time. The bottom half of the page in this conce

That was a nice summary. The data-poor and computation-poor context of old school statistics definitely biased the methods towards the "recipe" approach scientists are supposed to follow mechanically, where each recipe is some pre

Update: I went to the drug store and is seems "stannous fluoride" is quite common in Crest brand toothpastes. All the "high-end" toothpastes had it, so it's not a rare thing at all, just have to read the medical ing

Very interesting. From that paper, the brand they used as example of stannous fluoride was "oral-B pro expert all-around protection" Do you know of any other brands? I wonder if we can conclude it was the stannous fluoride that

True that! LA is probably the most "powerful" math tooling available to UGRAD students. Speaking from my own experience, I survived a degree in ENG, PHYS, and CS coasting just on my knowledge of linear algebra. It's like th

Thanks for sharing. I talk to a lot of people about math and many of them (adults) have intense math anxiety. I always wonder what kind of trauma could have led to this, because I assumed the I-suck-at-math is such a private feeling, at wor

There is nice tool called `aha` that converts ANSI color codes to HTML colors. See https://github.com/theZiz/aha Example usage: pipe to it any command with color output then send result to an .html file: git diff

+1 for the linear algebra recommendation. Optimization is good to know, but might not be essential, since there are good implementations of most of the cutting edge algorithms in the ML libraries. If you need a visual overview of linear alg

Statistics. I started (re)learning this subject in preparation for a new book, thinking all I had to do was review what I studied in my university days, and summarize the essential ideas, but it turns out statistics is A LOT more complicate

What are you using to review/relearn basic math? I'm asking because this is the space I'm working in, so I wonder what "products" people are hiring to do this "job." PS: Check out this concept map that sho
