Data in Practice
After years of wading neck-deep in the humanities, the jump to math and statistics has been a fun (if messy) transition. Apart from a few credits in undergrad, I’ve had to take all my coursework online post-graduation: Intro to Proofs, Calc I-II, Abstract Algebra, Abstract Linear Algebra, Calc III and Real Analysis (both ongoing). Some of this I managed to complete while full-time at SAMS, but I decided to leave in order to dedicate more time to my studies.
My education in R has been informal and primarily project-based. See my projects page for samples of my work.
