Joules Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm going through the Data Science Specialization at Coursera : https://www.coursera.org/specializations/jhudatascience The courses are tough and fast-paced, but I thought the second one on R Programming would be good for ds as he goes through statistics. Many of the college textbooks on statistics use R for their examples now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The AP Statistics course by Carol Matheny (Blue Hen) at Pennsylvania Homeschoolers is excellent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad S Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The Practice of Statistics - AP text, library usually have more than one copy http://www.amazon.com/The-Practice-Statistics-Daren-Starnes/dp/1464108730 I agree that The Practice of Statistics is a good text for high school, either with or without the AP test. I also agree that R would be highly useful -- it's used a lot in colleges and the working work, at least in science, engineering, and data analysis, and it's free, but I don't have any recommendations for a way to learn it. There are lots of tutorials on using R, but I don't know where to begin (I haven't heard a lot of good things about the Coursera R course and it's $49). Does anyone know of a good tutorial for a high school student to get going with R alongside a statistics course? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
