• Your first homework is due Jan 29, 2021. Math-major students need to do all problems including starred problems.

  • If you want to follow the non-math track, you can skip starred problems. Instead, you will be required to make a report after reading the following book

  1. Signal and the noise by by Nate Silver

If you want to read more books related to this course, my recommendations are

  1. The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Liveas by Leonard Mlodinow
  2. Superforecasting by Philip Tetlock and Dan Gardner
  3. Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom

The report is due at the end of the term.
