Sometimes you just need a Mathematician.

If I am being 100% honest I love math. This project inspired me to get out a paper and pencil and work out the details by hand.

Sometimes it is hard to pick a favorite math formula but in this case, it's easy. The binomial theorem is all about finding the probability of events occurring given n trials. It is based on Pascal's triangle and has real-world implications.

In this case I calculated the probabilities by hand and then turned the data into a probability distribution and cumulative distribution.

“I knew that some of my classmates would have questions about these functions so I built them by hand so I could explain them better.”

I even opted to build the function by hand in this case we were building three of them so I turned them into an array and reshaped the array to keep them on separate rows.

I wanted to show the classmates I was helping the general shape of the PMF and CDF functions so I extended the number of trials to 100 so we could see the general curve.

For this project I wrote two notebooks feel free to look them over. One takes a value of n for the number of trials and builds matrices of distributions and reshapes them. The other solved the assignment for the course I was taking at Bellevue University.

If your project could use a mathematician with a proven track record feel free to contact me. I would love to hear about your project ideas.

About Me

Data Science

Data Science isn't just my career; it's the realization of a lifelong passion where my love for mathematics, programming, and technology converge. Over the past 20 years, I've nurtured a deep fondness for computers, starting from building them to exploring their immense capabilities.

My academic path initially led me to programming and then chemistry, where I excelled nationally in the 98th percentile. This experience, however, led to an epiphany - it was the mathematical elements within chemistry that truly captivated me. This revelation steered me towards a scholarship in Mathematics and a subsequent career in teaching.

But the true calling came with Data Science. Here, I found an exhilarating opportunity to transform abstract mathematical theories into impactful, real-world applications. My focus now is on cutting-edge areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Computer Vision, and Reinforcement Learning - fields where I can blend my analytical skills with creative problem-solving to innovate and advance the boundaries of technology.

Data Science for me is more than a profession; it's a canvas where I paint with numbers and algorithms, creating solutions that matter.
