Did you know that mathematics and data science are basic skills to survive the modern age?
According to the Mind Research Institute, mathematics has now become like the basic skill of reading which people need to gain a competitive edge in the future workplace. And that future is closer than you think. A 2020 article from Technical Education Matters mentions that the increased usage of technology in offices and other workplaces has made mathematics skills more indispensable than in the past. 🧮💼
We at Eskwelabs, inspired by the growth mindset, firmly believe you can learn anything you set your mind to. And with a refreshing but gentle push, you might even learn to like math and the potentially-rewarding field of data science. 💖💪
Among the many YouTubers who can give you that extra energy to pursue math and data science include “3Blue1Brown” and “Tina Huang.” Ms. Huang’s YouTube channel and website feature a refreshing look at data science. Aside from that, she also provides useful life hacks like those that help you balance work and studies, without losing too much money or energy. On the other hand, 3Blue1Brown presents mathematics concepts through colorful and easy-to-understand animations that make the subject fun and relatable.
