Lecture 01: Introduction to 14.310x Data Analysis for Social Scientists

[@harisahmadkahn]

Esther won a nobel prize with her husband bannerjee. They also have a great book named "good economics for hard times"

[@zelousfoxtrot3390]

Took this class back when it was $300 on edX- It's a great ride. Pretty well expected to know your probability, statistics basics (too fast to learn it the first time, but lectures will review it well). Lectures are great, you will come out with a much better understanding of how analysis works for sociology- especially in regards to poverty. Actually earning my degree right now in computer science, emphasis Data Analysis because of this series of classes.

My father-in-law, a retired sociology prof, would enjoy this video. Thanks for the talk/overview.

[@LungteNangram]

My college sucks! Thanks a million MIT for these free open courses. I'm studying Economics so hoping more Econ related videos

[@tajinderpalsingh26]

[@midnightruns1295]

I enjoyed the entire thing! This is a positive comment section

[@bobanmilisavljevic7857]

MIT rules! 🦾🤠🇺🇲

[@subizwa94tv62]

Thanks!

[@christopheracob3689]

I like the accent and content, it embraces diversity, MIT's footprint goes global.

[@animeshkumar1684]

Great, thx!

[@sureshrook]

Nobel laurate lecture👌😎

[@peace_and_blessings1111]

Omg Nobel prize winners .....🎉

[@jorgej9419]

I'm not quite sure that people here on KZbin, especially the younger ones, realize how lucky they are to have a Nobel laureate teaching them a class. Usually they wouldn't be able to afford it.

[@isabelwolf2812]

Great course! I urgently need this knowledge for my PhD and i am so lucky that i found this one (even for free...). Thank you so much! The only thing I am missing is the solutions for the homework. Could anyone help out here?

[@ashivduvedi-mx5zf]

All the material (along with the solutions) is on the MIT Open Courseware website, which is given in the description .

[@rajranjanojha6351]

These video is very beautiful. Are these videos also for other backgrounds like(Computer science, Maths, Physics students), who wants to learn Data science?

[@mitocw]

Here's what we have for 'data science' videos: ocw.mit.edu/search/?f=Lecture%20Videos&q=Data%20science. Best wishes on your studies!

Avec un accent comme ca, t'aurai pu filer ton Nobel a la France! Merci pour ton travail ;)

[@saliaouattara7504]

" We are going to learn about finding data on the web in various ways ". Is the part available now or the following class after this one didn't take place yet ? Thanks for everything sir!

[@soumyajitchakraborty3192]

Is there a playlist of all the lectures for this course? If yes, please paste the link, I could not find it.

[@yanniskaragiannis3026]

It still hurts me to read or hear "the data IS very beautiful". In french this would be "les données est très belle"; in spanish, "los datos es muy bonito", in german, "die Daten ist sehr schön", in greek "Τα δεδομένα είναι πολύ όμορφo", etc. It hurts, doesn't it? I wouldn't have expected learned MIT professors to speak in that "only-thing-I-care-about-is-computer-science" sort of idiom. Having said that, the rest of the course is obviously world-class. The explanations are chrystal-clear, the examples are well-chosen, and the pace of the lectures is exactly how it should be. Thumbs up!!!!

[@mouadaitkhouya673]

Is that Canadian English or just french accent?

[@sitrakaforler8696]

Ho! that's nice :)

[@tryingmakeeconomistoutofme6138]

Anyone know the book use in this course ?

[@mitocw]

From the Syllabus, "There are no required texts for the course. We will draw on material from many sources." See the course for more details at: ocw.mit.edu/courses/14-310x-data-analysis-for-social-scientists-spring-2023/. Best wishes on your studies!

[@SuchanaRaniDas]

Those who want to start data analysis course is this video will be good ??

[@NanokaL]

Hey! Have you already studied this course? Is this for starters?😮

[@h_k369]

Great course, but where can I find answers for the assignments?

[@mitocw]

Sorry, we were not given solutions to publish for the problem sets. All the materials we were given to be published can be found on MIT OpenCourseWare at: ocw.mit.edu/courses/14-310x-data-analysis-for-social-scientists-spring-2023/.

[@harshitawasthi8742]

I'm not even into social scientist stuff

[@julienteychene6022]

Me : hope i can understand Launch video Foreign professor, damn Wait I'm French ! Easy course !!

[@ALAMINHOSSAIN-v1g]

Mingling the french accent with English, she discovered another kind of English language.

[@mrigankashekharbarman618]

First comment 😎😎😎

[@endgamefond]

I love her material and the way she explains but I am not a native English speaker. I am pretty good at listening to American, British and a very few other accents but I am really struggling with non American or British accents in general. Dear MIT, there is the AI called Elevenlab or some other audio editing and I think you guys can engineer the audio. Please. I love her lecture so much and I dont wanna miss a lot of points coz of my ability with the accent. It is not enjoyable if I only read the subtitle.

[@Cole205]

She cute (and big brained of course)

[@marceloestebanmauricio4934]

Hmm.. the instructor has a sort of French accent...

[@usmanmujtabamujtaba9963]

I could not understand this special type of English 😢

[@harshitawasthi8742]

True 😂

[@Edward-bm7vw]

It's a very thick French accent.

[@EtymologicallyFine]

Turn on the English Captions

[@Talaria.School]

It s cute af.

[@annaanna1981]

Wow how did you fail at that? You only need to speak English as a second language to understand her.

[@Talaria.School]

I want DA for socialist scientist. According to Karl Marx socialism is a science.

[@Touchit344]

Why would they have someone that sounds like this?

[@rahul_sreedharan]

She won a Nobel prize

[@Theabok853]

And to be personal bc the world is bigger your self-restricted small world

[@tajuanalawson8219]

@@rahul_sreedharan It's the Nobel prize the clowns in the comments claiming they get what she saying...shame to lie about such a thing....This is why when they be claiming they was robbed out of education and shouldnt have to repay them student loans cause they didnt learn anything...Instead of brown nosing and gas lighting you should have been learning.

[@davidortega4055]

Can’t understand due to her accent 😢

[@kiki_the_creator]

in addition to captions that might be helpful, there’s also a transcript available in the description.

[@kevinfreimarck3301]

Yeah, not a very good lecture speaking wise.

[@szaybhattacharya1022]

Zio...
