I have a confession to make: I love statistics! And I love data sets!
While others may enjoy to read a fashion magazine or a newspaper about soccer, I can spend hours reading and trying to understand statistics and data sets about demographics, environmental issues, education, national and local budgets,or similar interesting topics.
I like to understand the world and I like to be able to make fact-based decisions and I like to discuss about such topics. Without statisti…cs, without data sets, we cannot do any science and we cannot take qualified decisions. It’s a pity that so many people (too many people) do not like numbers, maths, and statistics.
Therefore, I am very sad to hear that Hans Rosling has passed away today. I don’t know anyone else in the online world who managed to present statistics in such an interesting and fun way.
Here a link to his nice talk „Let my dataset change your mindset“ on ted.com:
Enjoy! And try to let him „change your mindset“.
