An edX course in data analytics that is one of several self-study options a commenter lists alongside Guttag and Grimson's computation course, Scott Page's Model Thinking, and Tufte's visualization work. The comment does not describe its syllabus in detail.

A commenter lists it among multidisciplinary self-study resources (scripting, visualization, models, simulation) that they credit with giving them a practical advantage at work.

   Wouldn’t a data science curriculum be more multi-disciplinary than a ‘statistics’ course?

   Visualization, scripting, data collection, models, simulation. EDx had a great course by Guttag and Grimson. Add to this Scott E Page’s Model Thinking. Add EDx Data Analytics and Learning From UT Arlington. And some Tufte.

   I say these because i work in the accounting field and brought scripting to my firm from my own self-study. It’s been a super power for me, and solved several problems which my colleagues had tackled using Excel alone.

   I’ve also studied statistics, but found it less generally useful.
