Shabbat, 14 February 2015

I got up late this morning and didn't go for a walk. But I did go out a walk for more than 45 minutes in the late afternoon, wearing only a t-shirt, jeans, and socks and shoes. It was very nice out!

I decided today to drop my R Programming class. The materials are just not organized enough to be really helpful, and I don't have the motivation to dig around that much to do relatively simple things. This means I will also not be doing the rest of the Data Science specialization, but I've come to realize that data science involves quite a bit more statistics than I want to be involved in. Although I'm a mathematician, I have NEVER really liked statistics very much.

I ordered food delivered from Barbis for lunch at home today.

I decided to enroll in a Coursera (online) course on programming and algorithms for biology, mostly (if not totally) related to studying and sequencing DNA. I think it will be interesting, but if it proves not to be, or to require more time than I have, I can always drop it. It will start on Monday.
