Today I attend a one-day course to learn some business strategies and tactics. It was led by an instructor with years of experience who obviously knew what he was talking about. He asked us our particular business problems and we shared them with him, and he gave example answers that would help us think of ways Read More
Linear Algebra For Dummies
It’s interesting how different things with the same names can be. Linear Algebra in maths is scary and complicated. I’ve looked up so many courses, but even the “beginner” ones are intimidating. So when you start looking into Data Science and Machine Learning, spotting Linear Algebra lurking in the course content can cause worry. But it Read More
Linear Algebra With R
Another Linear Algebra post! And why not, I’ve been playing with it more and more lately. I haven’t become super advanced in using it, I can’t tell you how it works just yet. What I can tell you is that learning R on Datacamp will give you some great basics in Linear Algebra. In fact, it Read More
Linear Algebra And Excel Spreadsheets
Although I am just beginning with Linear Algebra, one thing occurred to me about matrices and vectors. I worried that in my ignorance, I was simply misunderstanding, but maybe not. I stumbled across the following quote and my little thought made sense: Linear algebra gives you mini-spreadsheets for your math equations https://betterexplained.com/articles/linear-algebra-guide/ Now THAT is something Read More
Linear Algebra for Data Science
So here’s a big scary mathematical idea; Linear Algebra. It’s something my wife has studied towards her physics degree, so I know it’s complicated. There are all these funny words associated with it too. And knowing all that, I was concerned that it’s a part of Data Science. So yesterday I decided to do a little Read More
The Complete Robot… Again
One of the upsides and downsides of being unwell is that you can only allow yourself to do things that take very little effort. So whilst I am resting to recover from this damn cold, I can’t do much. I can rest, keep clean, watch NetFlix and read. I’ve decided that I shouldn’t be playing proper Read More
Today I Am Only Human
My lovely wife has unfortunately transmitted her cold to me, which left me with a dilemma. I had a time-sensitive task to launch today, but I don’t currently have the option to work remotely and thanks to brain fog from the cold, I would be more liable to making mistakes, which is of course a big Read More
1 Year Anniversary!
A quick look at my diary shows that yesterday was actually the one year anniversary since I started writing this particular blog! I can hardly believe I missed that. This is the longest running blog I’ve ever had, I’ve finally stuck with one. Now, that isn’t to say that IainSaunders.uk has existed for a year, it Read More
Back To Business
I am back after a four day break from work, study and blogging. And if anyone is interested, I ate, I slept, I played video games. Not much else. Getting back into it now, there is a lot for me to do. The world marched on while I slacked off. The work on my plate has Read More
What Is Your Time Off Like?
Following advice from my wife and my boss, I now have four days off from work. I’ve had several recent accomplishments to be proud, analyses and business models. But I’ve moved from one project to the next, with little time to relax and enjoy the fruits of my labours. As I am not (yet) a machine, Read More
