@SciPyTip I tried this and I got an:
AttributeError: `np.lookfor` was removed in the NumPy 2.0 release. Search NumPy's documentation directly.
Too bad, seems like it would have been a nice function to have.

After seven years in the works, the No Bullshit Guide to Statistics eBook is finally done! See the announcement blog post here: https://t.co/Ug94oAj2zi
People say teaching both frequentist and Bayesian #statistics in parallel can't be done, but I say ¿Por qué no los dos?
The MATH & PHYS book is #1 in #Physics of #Mechanics category on Amazon today. If you're taking a first-year university mech or calc class, this would be the time to get the book since it's 17% off today.
See here for details https://t.co/4rw7d0lfo6 be sure to check the reviews
But stats is so central to EVERYTHING, that these intros and conclusions could make a whole book! STATS is the key to science, many STATS ideas are used in ML, causal inference is a big deal, linear models are good for you... etc. Is STATS the cornerstone of everything? 2/2
Introductions and conclusions are hard!
I'm done writing the STATS book (cf. https://t.co/w8lX4mwMG4) and now writing the intros to tell readers what to expect an pitch why the stats is important, and conclusions that provide and connect the material to a wider context. 1/2
Digitisers by Jonny Griffiths is now available for FREE on the ATM website. It features 50 'digitiser' tasks aimed at late GCSE/Alevel students to help with their studies. @therispguy https://t.co/sYqeqomWhi
@gregsolon @Maths__Physics1 Check this https://t.co/w8VNE8rS3y (PDF, 37pp). It's a compact review of all the best functions (most useful for describing real-world stuff).
@Maths__Physics1 Ya! I like the analogy with language: if variables correspond to the nouns of math, then functions correspond to the verbs.
Speaking of functions, I just uploaded the functions chapter from my book here https://t.co/w8VNE8rS3y for people who wants to learn more about them 𝑓s.
For anyone interested in checking what the book is about, see the concept map here https://t.co/0ofjBx9MJL and the extended PDF preview here https://t.co/3JrLGKbWmX
I spend an exorbitant amount of time choosing the notation for each section to ensure consistency and precision. I used to think this was wasted time, but now I realize this effort is essential for the clarity of explanations...
Cleanliness of notation is next to Godliness?
@colin_fraser Nice! Indeed, calculus operations are all procedures with infinitely many steps (like the `n`) and infinitely small steps (like the `dx`).
To learn more about math topics using Python, check out the SymPy computer algebra system.

@lakens Welcome to the Pythonland! Sure we don't have `dnorm` as a built-in function, but `norm.pdf` is there after a `from scipy.stats import norm`.
If anyone is interested, I'm writing a Python tutorial for absolute beginners (no programming exp. required): https://t.co/AI6nDV0zbj
