Introduction to Probability
Harvard’s legendary Stat 110. Joe Blitzstein teaches probability as a language for quantifying uncertainty — conditioning as “the soul of statistics”, story proofs, the common distributions and why they arise, and Markov chains. Full lectures, a free textbook, and years of problem sets with solutions are all open. The single most important course in this faculty.
