Based on responses, the meeting time will be chosen this Friday (11/5) at 5:00pm

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 (free online edition) at a pace of 1 chapter per week.

Proposed meeting format:

  • 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

  • What:
    • Chapter 1
    • Problems: 1.03, 1.08, 1.09, 1.12, 1.13, 1.21, 1.24, 1.30 (recommended by Drake in the preface)
  • When: Next Week (TBD)
  • Where: Noisebridge - 2169 Mission St. (back corner classroom)
