In perusing YouTube in hopes of finding helpful clips for a
statistics course that I’m putting together for work, or just a late night
search for fun and entertaining videos about math and/or statistics, I have a
couple videos that I’d like to share [hopefully for your enjoyment].
For you non-math/stat people, I hope that this may shed some light
on the idea that we can be fun and silly - not boring and serious like math
people are often assumed to be. Our career, for many of us, is a culture
and yes, we [I’ll speak for myself] enjoy related jokes and humor. (See pic below)
For the people reading that are involved in math-related careers,
hopefully you will appreciate these videos, too.
1) The Statistics Song - Fun with song writing about
introductory statistics! It brings a smile to my face when I see students
making videos (having fun) for their classes.
2) Through the eyes of a Statistician. Now...as a Statistician I will mention that I never noticed this kind of thing before seeing this video but now I see normal curves everywhere! It makes it interesting to think of basic day-to-day things in terms of a distribution (door handles!)
3) Statistician’s Blues - A great song spoof on statistics - and a peak into the misuse of and incorrect interpretations of statistics and data. Still funny.
Lastly - to share our introductory promo video just released on YouTube! Note it’s sadly not a humorous one…. just a small clip to help you understand our motivation for notAprodigy.
