Math and Data

In this introductory lesson, we’ll explore the basics of data set anatomy, including variables, observations, and how a “tidy” data set is organized. We’ll also look at some concrete examples of data analysis in action. Data analysis is more than just a bunch of mathematical abstractions; it has real uses in the real world.

To navigate this lesson, click through the icons along the horizontal bar above, moving in order from left to right. Start by clicking the “Example Analysis” video. Once you’ve finished each section of the lesson, be sure to take the “Lesson 1 Assessment” quiz at the very end before moving on to Lesson 2.
