Also, if you're in SF and are interested in learning more about d3.js, one of the primary libraries that we used to build EV, we'll be teaching a 1 day workshop May 2nd geared towards people comfortable with data but haven't gotten deep into web programming. We'll also be using "explorable explanation" style techniques along the way.<p>Have a look at our preliminary workshop demos for an example: <a href="https://vicapow.github.io/d3-1-day-workshop/" rel="nofollow">https://vicapow.github.io/d3-1-day-workshop/</a><p>I promise the demos will get more advanced and start incorporating data before the workshop :)<p>You can apply to the workshop here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VgBUu7znZVllkVw2d6TISzsTjGDDviPF3vbo-Zlz6ME/viewform" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VgBUu7znZVllkVw2d6TISzsTjGD...</a><p>The application process is to ensure everyone's at about the same level. If you're accepted, the ticket is $99 and includes food and refreshments.
Great visualization (as the rest from <a href="http://setosa.io" rel="nofollow">http://setosa.io</a> , go have a look)!!<p>I wonder, though: I learnt OLS as standard math / symbolic logic; but, if kids and students learnt from these visualization, would they be better off, or worse off?<p>Because, at least for me, it is difficult to reason about this and other visual math examples (whereas there are others that are great as demonstrations, as the integer proof in <a href="http://www.catonmat.net/blog/visual-math-friday/" rel="nofollow">http://www.catonmat.net/blog/visual-math-friday/</a> , this one, regarding OLS, <i>confuses</i> me).<p>It probably depends a lot on each person. Out of curiosity, does this particular example give you insights? Which ones? How?
