So right now I have a 89 in my math class and will probably fail my final but still pass the class. I can do enough math to figure that one out! But I signed up for a statistics in social sciences next. If I struggled with this MA106 class with this next class destroy my mind or is it different concepts? I looked through the textbook and I like how it explains things much better than my stupid Algebra book. Thoughts? Basically if its going to be significantly harder and way more complex than I am just going to take one class instead of two. Baby Statistics isn't bad, just don't go beyond that. |

Stats is not bad, the math is more like arithmetic than hard core mathematics. Remember college is the best years of your life, it goes down hill after that. All the hot chicks are married and there's that job that cuts into your drinking time. Oh, and lots of bills to pay.

I had that too. Go for tech school or higher. Social sciences gets you no job.
Maybe engineering. |

Thanks for the encouragement. Full-time it is! But my sleep may suffer, got to keep hunting them talibs and such

I took stats all by itself. Got a 98. Was pretty straight forward. If I hadn't been on vacation halfway across the world while I was taking it, I would have been able to take other classes with it.

I'm a civilian now, thanks to my military time it gave me the "tools" to do my job now, and clearance  I just have to stay focused on career development while finishing degree. Cant stop the hustler, I will make my American Dream!

I actually enjoyed my Probs & Stats class far more than Algebra. To me Algebra, Trig, & Calc are just understanding the rules and then mechanically doing the work. Probs & Stats actually gave me some real world analytical skills at the time. I actually use the other types of math at times. I just didn't know I would back then.

My wife isn't very good at math, but in college she had to take a Financial Statistics class (or something of the sort). She said that the class was essentially comprised of the teacher telling the students what buttons to hit on the calculator for a given type of problem. She did well in the class without learning a damn thing.
