Why is a programming language less powerful in doing math than a TI graphing calculator? (Ditch Python for an emulator? Desmos can't do stats. (Edit: turns out yes it can))
I know SageMath (https://www.sagemath.org/) and numpy can do most of the stuff raw Python lacks, but we are talking about the basics here.
As a high school student I have suffered a lot from my computer just not knowing how to do the math I was doing at school. I just wanted to practice my stats skills on some data I found, but figuring out libraries was the only way to go.
I was using z/t/chi tables and my physical calculator for quite a while. (And I couldn't program the distributions myself)
There is something wrong when a (novice) Programmer grabs a TI calculator do the stats.
Btw, if anyone has any advice for me or a person like me (for doing school stats on computer), please comment thanks.
R is a great language for statistical analysis. The basics are in there and it has a rich library ecosystem for more unusual things, like extreme value analysis, survival analysis, etc.
