CFAR's core materials have become organized to the point of being print-out-and-teachable, so I'm going to print out their book and practice from it. I encourage you to do this with me; it will be valuable and at least a little bit fun.

The first unit, besides preamble and and such about rationality checklist, scavenger hunt, and the prediction "markets" game, is a collection of Bayesian exercises to teach the basics of applying probability theory.

There's two sets of quantitative word problems, and some qualitative analysis problems. It should take us a couple hours to work through it all.

I'll be doing this at Benny's Bagels in Kitsilano, starting at 15:00 on Saturday. This will probably be an ongoing thing; every week until we are done, which is like 24 weeks at about one unit per week. We can probably compress that, but Wow.

See our mailing list for reminders about future meetups and such.

See you there!
