Stats PhD student @Harvard • I tweet about data science: what it is, how to do it better, why it matters for the rest of society.
Strategy: Read about Statistics Before getting into the math, it can be helpful to understand the purpose of the math. This is where a good non-mathematical introduction to statistics can really help. Book: "Statistics: A Very Short Introduction", David Hand
