Todo -1: Subscribe to the course

Todo before 06:00 Wednesday, February 12 th:

1. pick up a problem from the page Try-on programming problems (get the oldest problems, they are simpler),
2. plot one figure to illustrate the problem (plot data or analysis),
3. write explanatory comments to the figure (what the reader sees on the figure, what conclusions follow up),
4. an example of the figure formatting is here
5. upload your notebook to your github repository,
6. send the link to this notebook to mlalgorithms [at] gmail [dot] com, with the subject "Application m1p"

• Example of a nice simple problem: bread regression.
• Examples of plots: one many solutions from this project.
• Examples of old problems Problem 7, Problem 1, Problem15.
