BerkeleyX edX courses

Posted January 12, 2013 By Landis V

https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/Stat2.1x/2013_Spring/about – Introduction to Statistics:  Descriptive Statistics

https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS191x/2013_Spring/about – Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation

Ran across these while looking at Scratch as something my kids might be interested in at some point.  I’ve always wanted to take a statistics course… this might be just the opportunity I have been looking for (if I can find the time 🙁 )

Pretty handy trick.  I’ve done parts of it, but not the JSON parsing or the scheduling.  Those may be new since I last looked.  Good to hold on to for a reference.

There have been a few times I’ve thought it would be nice to have a small, “low end box” somewhere for various tasks and viewpoints to the world.  They list some pretty good prices here, down to about a dollar a month for some of the very lightweight solutions.

The VBScript at the bottom of this article has proven functional for me on XP.  I haven’t tried any of the other suggestions at this time.
