Taiwan, South Korea, and Ukraine are all de facto western tributary states. I think you should investigate the actual reasons why China was founded, and maybe read up on the 100 years of humiliation. Why do you think…

I actually agree with your point on prerequisites. I think by absolute beginner I meant to say no experience with probability theory either. With the prerequisites you outlined, I think a determined person could do well…
I got the chance to casually work through this course while stuck at home during COVID-19. I highly recommend it to anybody who has a surface-level understanding of statistics and wants to dive deep. This is NOT a…
