Bridging the Gap Between Mathematics and Data Science (feat. Mario Bañuelos)

<p>“…But for math in general, I think data science education bridges this gap between the data that affects our lives and […] the more theoretical understandings of these concepts… ”</p><p>Today, we’re speaking with Mario Bañuelos who is an assistant professor and Associate Chair of Mathematics at California State University, Fresno. In this episode, he shares how he <strong>incorporates data science education into his math courses </strong>and <strong>how to get intellectual buy-in from students</strong>. He also speaks on the importance of <strong>linking mathematics and data science to social contexts</strong>.</p><p>“I think part of [bringing social context into math classes] is having students understand that the data affects people and that the models you create are gonna have effects on those people.”</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
