NCHS Students

Mr. Rukman has an new IDP site for you. Please go there.

Website Mission

Allow a student learning Data Science to “window shop” for technology and methods.

In the Fall of 2024, Mr. Stride has moved to UW Bothell and this site is no longer a primary source of information for students at NCHS. As a result, content is transforming to reference material on Python in general instead of directions on high school homework.

This website is intended to augment the CSE 163: Intermediate Data Programming curriculum and online book provided by Hunter Schafer.

Mr. Stride has created “this ridiculous” thing


Video Reference

Things this website hopes to have information on:

  • Machine Learning

  • Plotting

  • Cheatsheet Notes

Once you are ready to read, you can navigate the book using the sidebar on the left!

Here are a bunch of TODOs for Mr. Stride:

  • Explain how an object can implement __iter__() and return a list of instance fields so that a caller can ‘unpack’ the object into a set of fields. Note that list object is iterable and can also be unpacked. It doesn’t have to be a tuple.

  • Add cross-referencing across the topics so that when an example method uses something advanced, then that can be further discussed in another page/topic.

  • Generators (and recursion in a generator
 ouch!)

  • walrus operator

  • decorators: @staticmethod, @classmethod

  • interfaces (how are they different from classes)

  • decorators as found here: https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/decorator

  • closures and nested methods

  • Dictionary comprehensions

  • map, filter, reduce,

  • a summary of good built-in python functions: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html

  • Math to reverse randomized response

  • 5 stages of research (gather, organize, report, conclude, act or enact policy)

  • confirmation bias (other biases?)

  • “stuff” in my Notes directory

  • prosecutors fallacy, simpson’s paradox, (other things from good videos)
