I'm very excited to announce that we are going to have a weekly study group during the period of the class. We'll meet every Thursday from 6pm to 9pm at Alpine Data Labs (https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=Alpine+Data+Labs&fb=1&gl=us&hq=alpine+data+labs&hnear=0x80859a6d00690021:0x4a501367f076adff,San+Francisco,+CA&cid=9890511290876331625&ei=ZoCzUoqXFsn6oASFo4LQAg&ved=0CKgBEPwSMAo).

PREREQUISITES:

First courses in statistics, linear algebra, and computing. (I would also add: some familiarity with R)

Be sure to bring your laptop.
