The Data Scientist Learning Journey

About the webinar

Data scientists do lots of different kinds of work with data, but one thing they all have in common is the use of mathematics to model patterns observed in the world.

These mathematical models derive heavily from the field of statistics!

In this webinar, our experts, Sharad Saxena and Cat Truxillo, will talk about the statistical concepts that you are most likely to encounter on a daily basis as a working data scientist.
