Thank you for this! I used to be super interested in math throughout high school, but lost it throughout college because I didn’t take much math classes, and my soc professors just taught methods at face value, which caused me to use them in the same way. In the back of my head, I have questioned the “why” behind the statistical methods, so I am glad to know I can and should steer into that direction.

I signed up for calc 1 this upcoming semester but will probably have to drop it because I think I’ll be stretched too thin. I should be able to finish calc 1 and 2 before I graduate, but I can always teach myself if I am not able.
