Data Science Decoded  

Data Science Decoded

Author: Mike E

We discuss seminal mathematical papers (sometimes really old ) that have shaped and established the fields of machine learning and data science as we know them today. The goal of the podcast is to introduce you to the evolution of these fields from a mathematical and slightly philosophical perspective. We will discuss the contribution of these papers, not just from pure a math aspect but also how they influenced the discourse in the field, which areas were opened up as a result, and so on. Our podcast episodes are also available on our youtube: https://youtu.be/wThcXx_vXjQ?sivnMfs

Data Science #27 - The History of Least Squares (1877)
Wednesday, 2 April, 2025

Mansfield Merriman's 1877 paper traces the historical development of the Method of Least Squares, crediting Legendre (1805) for introducing the method, Adrain (1808) for the first formal probabilistic proof, and Gauss (1809) for linking it to the normal distribution. He evaluates multiple proofs, including Laplace’s (1810) general probability-based derivation, and highlights later refinements by various mathematicians. The paper underscores the method’s fundamental role in statistical estimation, probability theory, and error minimization, solidifying its place in scientific and engineering applications.
