A day in the life of a functional data scientist

A day in the life of a functional data scientist

Time: 
Friday, 5:30pm - 6:00pm
Abstract: 

Data science is hard, not just because of the complex algorithms and mathematics, but because it's easy to make a small mistake that can ruin days or even weeks of work. In this talk you'll see how ideas and tools from functional programming can save you time, how they can prevent some of these mistakes, and how I incorporate them into my everyday workflow.
