    Wow! Thank you so much :) I usually don't like videos like that because they tend to keep talking for a long time, but this one was concise and full of resources. Thanks again!

    Hi Egor. Thank you very much for your videos. I'm from Colombia and I'm a beginner in the data world. I hope you keep creating content to help us become great Data Scientist (Sorry for my English, I'm learning :V).

    Hello from Kigali, Rwanda :)
    thank you for this insightful video, I am preparing for second year of my master's degree, and I have already taken some courses including Mathematics for Machine Learning, that used the book you recommended, I want to revise them plus ones you recommended for me to be ready for fall semester!

    Hi Egor can you talk us through your first data science project like how you got the idea, mistakes your made or learned from.
    And perhaps projects you would do today to really show off your skills.

    Hello from Cuba, excellent video Egor! I'm trying to land my first job and your videos are amazing, your recommendations have been very useful for me, books, tutorials, everything, thanks a lot. I wish you the best and I am sure you will soon get the verification badge from TH-cam.

    Great video indeed. Not sure for you, but I’ve found the laws of logic and graph theory quite fascinating tbh 🙂

      And speaking about math/graph theory, the the 7 bridges of Königsberg is an interesting one, but in reality, rarely really needed as a data scientist..

    • @egorhowell
      @egorhowell  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Interesting! Yeah that’s used quite a lot in optimisation problems like the travelling salesman problem. Maybe that’s an area that you would like to explore!

      Good question. I use a Macbook Pro M1 14 inch at work and Macbook Air M2 13.3 inch. Personally I prefer the macbook pro due to the screen size.
      I find Macs are generally better for programming than windows due to the UNIX based systems.
      I am also an Apple fan boy!

    Fantastic video bro! I have been a data analyst for over 2 years now, 1st class BSc in Biochem, A-level maths. Would you say I still need an MSc in maths/stem to compete with other candidates, or self teach to upskill and enter data science? Thanks again

    • @egorhowell
      @egorhowell  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think you are fine to upskill, unless you want to take a DS or ML masters is another option. But since you have been an analyst you probably have a lot of knowledge and industry experience. I reckon the self taught route would be easiest. Is there a way to do an internal move within your company? Might be the easiest option
