Probability and Statistics in Data Science using Python
The job of a data scientist is to glean knowledge from complex and noisy datasets.
Reasoning about uncertainty is inherent in the analysis of noisy data. Probability and Statistics provide the mathematical foundation for such reasoning.
In this course, part of the Data Science MicroMasters program, you will learn the foundations of probability and statistics. You will learn both the mathematical theory, and get a hands-on experience of applying this theory to actual data using Jupyter notebooks.
Concepts covered included: random variables, dependence, correlation, regression, PCA, entropy and MDL.
What you'll learn
- The mathematical foundations for machine learning
- Statistics literacy: understand the meaning of statements such as "at a 99% confidence level"

There are 13 sections and each one has 5 to 7 videos, with each of them being up to 30+ minutes long.
any math past high
One of the things I can say which might be unique is that I haven't had any math past high school Algebra.
fantastic job covering all
The instructors did a fantastic job covering all the concepts, with light overviews of the basics when needed.

finished 9 out
I have received a passing grade on the course and finished 9 out of 10 weeks now on the verified track (10th week is not available now due to a delay, which is very typical for majority of the weeks on first iteration of this class).
