Marco De Cesaris – expertise

Word Cloud of Marco De Cesaris expertise

When somebody (including my colleagues) ask me what my job is about, I always get in troubles trying to explain what I exactly do.

Thought this word cloud visualization of my expertise should be pretty straight forward and give an idea (at glance) of my expertise and what I do :)

Will see if it works :)

The cartoon guide to Statistics


Cover of the book: the cartoon guide to statistics

This is one of the best and funniest book I have ever read! :) It explains in such an easy way very complex things! A perfect book that teaches you while making you laugh :)

Generally reading a book for me it takes ages, but i finished this one during a flight London-Milan (return flight… yes) :)

Saying that it is funny it is not enough!

Learning statistics through this book will be like eating nutella (ps I love nutella) ;) Of course, it will be a basic course, but honestly speaking, if you already have a basic understanding, you will enjoy this book very much.

Here is just page number 1 :) Have a laugh :) (Click on the image below to enlarge).

What is statistics

219 pages of wonderful entertainment. Actually it is not a book.. it is more like a show! :)

The different stories are so live, so cool… so funny!

It covers from what is statistics, to probability, random variables, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression.

Honestly a very well thought and written book. Thank to the genius of Larry Gonick and Woollcott Smith.

Highly recommended!

Tecartherapy in London – UK


I am struggling to find a physiotherapist in London who is able to offer Tecartherapy. I tried the Tecartherapy in Italy few months ago and it was amazing! It worked straight away.

What is the Tecartherapy?*

Information about Tecartherapy can be found at Human Tecar (in english), otherwise is plenty of info in italian… but I dont think that many people can speak and understand italian :)

Here the list of some italian websites:

Here also some videos:

If anyone knows some Tecartherapists in London (possibly not remote areas) please feel free to comment on this post. It will be helpful for many other people.
Many thanks :)


*As I am not a professional, I only mentioned some of the sources that provide some information about Tecartherapy, but I dont assume any responsibilities for the information reported in the above mentioned websites/documents/videos.

Cheap taxi London – Heathrow Airport (return included)


I was struggling in order to find a good bargain for a taxi from London to Heathrow Airport (picking up my friend) and coming back to London.

I phoned 10s of companies and what I found out is that prices are amazingly different.

Most of the “taxi companies” that I called asked for a price in the range of 75 – 100 pounds (plus additional money for parking and waiting time in the Airport).

One of them (really nice on the phone), asked for a very good price, ALL INCLUSIVE.

The taxi driver will come to pick me up from my flat in London, take me to Heathrow Airport, waiting for me and my friend (up to 1 hour), and then will take us back to London in my flat for a total price of 50 pounds.

This company is Airport Despatch (strongly recommended).
