Go to course ↗

A YouTube lecture playlist covering introductory statistics and probability, following the structure of a standard engineering-and-sciences textbook. It introduces Bayes' Theorem early on.

Commenters describe it as a great lecture series that follows the same structure as a common textbook, so it works alongside that course material.

    There's this great series of lectures I watched during my intro to statistics and probability course: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQfiOKXnQpw_l0rbiV_QW8lwl...

    It goes over Bayes' Theorem early on, which I assume is Bayesian-by-default. I didn't realize this isn't universal.

    I watched it because my professor seemed to be teaching from the same textbook, so it followed the same general course structure. The textbook we used was "Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences — 9th edition". You can find a PDF of the eighth edition just by googling the name.

    You could probably follow along just by taking notes during the video lectures, but if you want to give yourself homework, the textbook provides a lot of practice problems.
