Lets Pick a Time
Anyone interested in attending regularly please select the times you can meet.
http://www.scheduleonce.com/MP.aspx?param=VT02OTA3My5UPTEuTT0zMzE1Ngqualqual
The meeting time will be chosen this Friday (11/5) at 5:00pm,
and the 1st meeting will hopefully take place next week.
General
A probability study group was proposed on the noisebridge-discuss list and cc'ed to the Machine Learning mailing list.
The goal is to go through the 7 chapters of Fundamentals of Applied Probability Theory at a pace of 1 chapter per week.
Proposed meeting format (to be discussed at 1st meeting):
- 30 min - a volunteer presents the material in the chapter (this will be for people who didn't have time to read the chapter at home, and for those who want to teach)
- 30-45 min - discussion and problem solving (those who solved the problems at home can compare answers, those who didn't can work on the problems together)
Next Meeting
- Go through chapter 1 and problems 1.03, 1.08, 1.09, 1.12, 1.13, 1.21, 1.24, 1.30 (these are recommended by Drake)
- When: Next Week (TBD)
- Where: Noisebridge - 2169 Mission St. (back corner classroom)
