Hello :) Today is Day 141!
A quick summary of today:
- read a bit more of A Primer For The Mathematics Of Financial Engineering by Dan Stefanica
- applied (sent an email) about becoming a TA for one of the undergraduate big data/ML/statistics courses in my uni
I like the Primer book because it is pure math - just Lemmas and Theorems and proving them (+ application in finance).
Below are my notes from Ch 4 - lognormal random variables
I saw that a deadline for the 4th assignment from Stanford’s XCS224W: ML with Graphs is due on the 28th so I will likely start doing it in the afternoon after a quiz I have at uni.
Also I saw that the official 2nd homework on model management and experiment tracking from the MLOps zoomcamp is up, but let’s see if I can do it tomorrow.
As for the ‘application’ to be a TA. I believe teaching is the highest form of knowing something. Being able to explain a concept to someone who does not know it and them understanding it is one of the biggest certifiers that someone really know’s something. So I wrote an email in Korean about that I know python, some math, some statistics, have been studying and blogging here about ML/DL, so let’s see if I can atleast meet with a professor even just for a chat.
That is all for today!
See you tomorrow :)
