This is a short learning project designed to provide the practical basis for future development in the study of science in general. This not not a project to develop mastery of the facts of science, rather it is designed to expose basic techniques for the discovery of facts. This project is only six lessons long:What is general science? How do we study scientific processes and systems? What can we learn from scientific processes and systems? How do we set up a general science laboratory? What are some projects to get started in general science? What are some open problems in general science?
This is a short learning project designed to provide the practical basis for future development in the study of data analysis. This not not a project to develop mastery of the facts of data analysis, rather it is designed to expose basic techniques for the discovery of patterns in existing data sets. This project is only six lessons long:What is data analysis? How do we study data? What can we learn from data sets? How do we set up a laboratory with data analysis in mind? What are some projects to get started in data analysis? What are some open problems in data analysis?
