How to make statistical teaching interesting by large data mining

September 17, 2014, Beijing-----------Scottguthrie, executive vice president of cloud computing and enterprise-level product engineering, ASP.net, a Microsoft company known as the father of the industry, has made a unique analysis of current technology trends. And with China's developers to share Microsoft's cloud strategy and his development from the programmer all the way. Scott's arrival attracted the attention of a number of Chinese developers, who were face-to-face with Scott on the spot and live online.

Scottguthrie joined Microsoft in 1997 after graduating from Duke University's computer science major. In the 1998, he and Markanders together to create a well-known asp.net, bringing a comprehensive use of computing and communication technology platform for a revolution, the global IT industry has a significant significance. At present, Scottguthrie is mainly responsible for Microsoft Cloud computing Infrastructure, server solutions, databases, management and development tools and other services. His engineering team is dedicated to developing capacity products including microsoftazure, windowsserver, SQL Server, ActiveDirectory, Systemcenter, Visual Studio and. Net.

When we enter the "mobile first, cloud first" era, the rich variety of equipment and cloud services together to create a new climax of production and consumption data, to give everyone in the world, each enterprise a stronger innovation power. The development of technology is also unfolding around the cloud. Scottguthrie that development capability is the core element of cloud computing. He hopes that through the popularity of cloud computing, Cross-platform technology, services and tools will be integrated to provide a comprehensive and integrated computing experience, so that developers can achieve rapid innovation on an enterprise scale to achieve the "easy to use" goal.

Microsoft's core value is to create productivity and platform for the "move first, Cloud first" world, and to build a broader ecosystem that integrates cross-platform tools, technologies and services related to partners and open source communities to maximize the value of Microsoft technology. Scottguthrie details the operating characteristics of Azure, the rich features and services supported. For a variety of open source frameworks, Azure can create complex applications and configure itself to make it easier to build, he says. In addition, Scottguthrie also wrote the code to demonstrate how to use microsoftazure for web development services. This not only shows Scott's personal technical prowess, but also represents Microsoft's rapid forward confidence in the field of cloud computing.

Microsoft has been expanding its research and development investment in China, as well as technology-sharing and innovation cooperation, including the establishment of cloud Computing Innovation Center, Microsoft Enterprise Cloud Platform office365 and windowsazure landing China, Microsoft sqlserver2014 data platform into commercial, The implementation of Citynext program and launch of the VC Accelerator project, the establishment of Microsoft Asia-Pacific Technology Co., Ltd., a solid cloud strategic layout in China to help cloud innovation and so on a series of efforts, fully demonstrated that Microsoft and industry partners, government, academic institutions and universities and various industries to cooperate, We will work together to build a localized cloud computing ecosystem suited to China's national conditions, as well as the determination and commitment to further integrate into China's economic development.

With the advent of the large data age, statistics have become a hot subject in the fields of theory-oriented mathematics, statistical colleges, and the application of economic management, EMBA, industrial engineering, public health, clinical medicine, crop cultivation, and even in history, art and sports. Therefore, this article will take the statistical teaching as an example, combined with the author in recent years and domestic and foreign teachers and students of the work of exchange experience, talk about the experience of college teaching reform.

In fact, in recent years, there are many discussions about the reform of classroom teaching in colleges and universities, some say to increase the students ' participation in the classroom, some say the width of the classroom teaching, some say to speed up the modernization of teaching means, and so on. All of this makes sense, but from another point of view there is one more thing that is necessary to adjust the order of classroom instruction. A classic sentence to generalize, called Dothelastthingfirst (ie: the last thing to do first).

When it comes to adjusting the order of classroom instruction, let's talk about the traditional statistics teaching order is usually what: first of all, this class is to learn So-and-so theorem (or theory), and then talk about the hypothesis of the formation of this theorem is what, and then in the field deduced in the case of the assumption of the conditions, How to get the final theorem step-by-step (which tends to be the focus of the Class), and then explain the characteristics of the theorem (sometimes need to prove these characteristics), finally introduced the application value of this theorem. The time is rich words will take some simple data runs the ready-made procedure, the time not enough words lets the student go home to do the problem.

The teaching process has its merits, but there is also a congenital flaw: Many students who are not solid in mathematical fundamentals are likely to be lost in a large number of complex formulas and figures without a statistical charm, and have a weary and even fearful mood for statistics, Not to mention stimulating their interest in learning.

The solution to this conundrum is also simple-the original teaching content is not less than one, but need to change the teaching order, and appropriately add some fresh elements. For example: first through one or two close to life or hot news cases (this often requires teachers to develop and update the actual situation constantly) to tell the application of the value of a certain theorem, combined with modern teaching methods and tools to highlight the characteristics of the theorem, on the basis of detailed explanation of the reasoning process. If time is not enough, the reasoning process can allow students to read after class.

In this way, the effect of teaching will be significantly improved. Because students are alive to see the good prospect of mastering the theory, the enthusiasm of learning is easily stimulated by the maximum, and then the great pain is willing to eat, and more extra-curricular learning tasks are willing to complete, the rest of all the problems are not a problem.
