luisa's favorite [ x y z ]

  • dive into deep learning, great machine learning book that teaches the fundamentals with just the right amount of both math and code.
  • mit open courseware, needs no introduction, taught me proof based calculus I-III and linear algebra (thank you, gilbert strang).
  • campbell biology, beautifully written and illustrated introduction to biology which reignited my love for the natural sciences.
  • think bayes, example explanations of bayesian statistics that finally sparked the epiphany going from bayes' theorem in probability to bayesian statistics.
  • statquest's #66DaysOfData, intuitive illustrations of statistical analysis with examples from genetics (brought to you by the friendly folks of the genetics department at UNC chapel hill!)
  • ritvikmath, great intuitions and solid math on statistical concepts like sampling from a distribution.
  • logical chess move by move, collection of beautiful chess games, explained move by move. playing the games out on a physical board opened my eyes to how gorgeous positional play can be, and really made me fall in love with the game!
