Zen and the Art of Statistics, followed by Year End Party in Kobe

Event Speaker(s): 
Greg Sholdt (Osaka Chapter's "Best of JALT" winner, 2006)
Saturday, December 13, 2008 - 4:00pm to 6:00pm

What is the true meaning of the mean? During this unique and fun workshop designed for those who don't like numbers, the presenter will guide participants in an exploration of statistical concepts and reasoning. The primary goal is to deepen participants' understanding of statistics and demonstrate techniques for self-study. During the workshop, participants will solve quantitative riddles that are loosely modeled after Zen koans and carefully designed to lead participants to higher levels of quantitative clarity.
The meeting will be followed by a bonenkai at the amazing Pashiya Turkish restaurant < http://r.gnavi.co.jp/c675400/ >. The set menu with nomihodai is 5000 yen for men and 4300 for women. Space is limited to 24, so please contact kobejalt@gmail.com soon to reserve yourself a place!
