About Algobeans

Algobeans is authored by Annalyn Ng (University of Cambridge) and Kenneth Soo (Stanford University). We noticed that while data science is increasingly used to improve workplace decisions, many people do not have a good understanding of how it works. Our goal is to support anyone who wants to get started in data science. Each tutorial covers the important functions and assumptions of a data science technique, without any math or jargon. We also illustrate these techniques with real-world data and examples.

Our posts are our own, and do not represent the views of our past/present employers.
