It was so nice to see Jared again after the holidays! We spent the first part of the class catching up, mainly with Jared telling me of various statistics / probability things he had thought of over the holidays. For example, he wanted to share with me his thoughts on the odds of making it to the NFL (not large by any means) by showing me the numbers involved. We then started to watch a TED talk by Hans Rosling, generally considered one of the biggest data gurus on the planet. As usual, we only watched about two minutes in a ten-minute period because Jared always has so many thoughts and questions. A great start to the new semester.
