论文摘要
我们在统计和数据科学领域的入门课程使用过多的数学。我们的学生希望我们的课程具有的关键因果效应是提高他们的未来表现和机会。他们的计算技能越专业(在数据分析的背景下),他们的可能成功越大。入门课程几乎不得具有简单代数以外的数学/统计公式。
Our introductory classes in statistics and data science use too much mathematics. The key causal effect which our students want our classes to have is to improve their future performance and opportunities. The more professional their computing skills (in the context of data analysis), the greater their likely success. Introductory courses should feature almost no mathematical/statistical formulas beyond simple algebra.
