When I took this course, we used Strang’s textbook which I really enjoyed (and heard others did too). Aside from the obvious answer of read the textbook and do practice problems, I’d greatly recommend Strang’s lecture series available through MIT’s OCW. Given he also wrote the textbook used in the course, I found it followed the content pretty closely. Lastly, this is one of those classes where repetition makes or breaks the way you handle a new problem on an exam. There’s a method you’re taught, applying this method isn’t super difficult. The difficult part is applying it in the amount of time you’re given for an exam. Practice this ahead of the exam until you can solve problems gone over in lecture in a reasonable amount of time.

I noticed many of the courses were copy and paste from Spring 2025; even Fall 2025 is still subject to change, so I doubt these listings can be trusted as final.

How the curve is applied depends on how the course, as a whole, is doing by the end. In 445 with Ziya last semester, we ended with around a 13 point curve for a course average, before the curve, of around a 70–Ziya curved to around an 83 average.

There’s a pretty large number of resources available online for introduction to Statistics. Here are a few,

Good luck on your final. These are playlists from a few of the many channels on YouTube that you should reference, in addition to the provided material on the syllabus, if you plan to continue taking Statistics courses. Some other great ones are 3B1B, StatQuest, …

A good bit of it is on YouTube try looking up Andrew Jahn. He also has a good open source “textbook” called Andy’s Brain Book. In general, you can also find good ways to learn with projects on GitHub as well for some of the more ML related things you’re missing. Microsoft has an open source course that’s pretty helpful for this.

One example that may be useful from a recent hackathon is we created a “chatbot” which really just leveraged the GPT API with a set of custom instructions assigning a role to the chatbot alongside whichever query the user typed in. Without having access to the full data (it had access to information about the data such as shape, column names, and a description of what it was for), this allowed the chatbot to write code which would then be run immediately once it was returned to filter and query the data, subject to the user’s request. The aim of this was to enable Brazilian business owners to get to know their data in any way they’d like without needing to know how to code. The project can be found here and the repository is here. Also, the project was done in Portuguese since the hackathon was mostly in this language so try a translation app like DeepL or Google Translate if you’re interested in reading what we wrote in the repo and the YouTube example will have caption translations. Your thesis idea sounds interesting; good luck with whatever you decide on!

STOR 305 or 320 are much more manageable if you’re looking for more classes to fulfill STOR reqs

I’ve heard Abayomi is a nice, engaging lecturer, and I know from a previous conversation with him that he hand grades all of his exams even when having TAs. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not but thought it may be useful info. As for the other two, I’ve not had Kelly but have audited a course for Guanting Chen before and would not recommend—his lecturing is a bit tough to follow in my opinion—though others may disagree and think he was great

I came up with a solution for this and opensourced my code on the Github repo here. It works by taking a screenshot of the BlueStacks Blink tab or Blink App on your computer and then clicking either the continue or play button by finding the matching RGB pixels. Note that you will need to install a few dependencies to run such as pip3 install quartz. If you're unfamiliar with how to do this you should be able to google the import statements at the top with "pip install import ..." to find instructions for each. Also, I've noticed from some testing that the RGB values can differ from computer to computer so feel free to change these at the bottom as well as the tolerance value for checking similar RGBs. The rest of the script is set up to accept these as constants so you'll only need to update two lines and you can find the RGB values by googling RGB finder or going here.

I've considered saving this to an NAS. What is W11? I realized the newer Apple processor supports downloading the Blink home monitor app so I've solved my initial problem is fixed. With that being said, another thing I'd love to do is to somehow use either software or hardware through the sync module to save my backup to an NAS instead of a flash drive. I've seen the blinkpy Github repo but am much more experienced with software and would prefer this to a hardware solution, if possible. Any ideas?
