The remarkable HG Wells, yes, the same gent who had written The Time Machine in 1895, had written in his 1903 book Mankind in the Making that "The great body of physical science, a great deal of the essential fact of financial science, and endless social and political problems are only accessible and only thinkable to those who have had a sound training in mathematical analysis, and the time may not be very remote when it will be understood that for complete initiation as an efficient citizen of one of the new great complex worldwide States that are now developing, it is as necessary to be able to compute, to think in averages and maxima and minima, as it is now to be able to read and write."

That was some 120 years ago!

Eminent statistician Samuel Wilks, in his 1951 presidential address to the American Statistical Association paraphrased Wells very succinctly when he said that "statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write"!

Well, that day has crept upon us.

Many of the machine learning techniques - PCA for one - were developed more than a hundred years ago, but came into prominence only in the last fifty years or so when computing power came of age!

Statistics is a fundamental science, and one needs to understand this subject well before getting into Machine Learning and AI.

My canine daughter Ginny (on the right) and her daughter Angu became full-fledged members of civil society on Sat 6 Dec 25 when the Chennai Corporation issued their licenses.

Angu asked me if she'd be issued a voter ID, I replied that I'd write to the Election Commission.

Join us for the TENTH batch of our online "Statistics for Non-Statisticians" program on Sat 12 July 2025 from 1100-1330 IST via Google Meet! This program is designed to give you a feel for how to deal with numbers.

This program is designed for those who think statistics is boring or too difficult. Our light-hearted approach will hopefully change your mind and show you the importance of statistics in data science.

Statistics is an indispensable part of numeracy, and is too important to be left to the so-called specialists. Whether you are in sales and marketing, manufacturing, service, software, supply chain management, finance and accounting, HR or even running your own enterprise, you need to be able to make sense of numbers all the time.

The program covers Central Tendency and Dispersion; Data Visualization; Distributions, Normality and Skewness; Confidence Intervals; Statistical Inference and the concept of Hypothesis Testing.

We can work out group discount schemes for those organizations who would like to nominate a small group.

Students from class 11 all the way up to those pursuing their undergraduate program get a FLAT 50% off. Folks doing their master's and PhD-s get a 25% discount

Last but not the least, there is a 25% early bird discount for those who register on or before Sun 29 Jun 2025. This can't be clubbed with the student discount though.
