The Grim Reaper wears a sigma sign on his lapel
Statistical Methods for Business will be the death of me. I bold statement, I know, considering the vast number of occurrences in the past that I've predicted my untimely death descending down on me in the form of education, more accurately that of Math. Although I understand the potential uses of these formulas and equations, I fail to truly grasp the urgency associated with mastering the noble art of standard deviations and cumulative percentage ratios, and every other mind numbing statistical method out there. The following is an example of a formula waiting for me on Wednesdays exam:
I apologize for the poor quality (microsoft paint), and ask those of you who studied a great deal of math not to laugh, it is far more difficult than it looks.
Could one argue that it is a self fulfilling prophecy that I always seem to predict my struggles in math? Perhaps. Would one find strong evidence of such an accusation in the reality that in the four weeks of tri-weekly class meetings I have not so much as touched my textbook until today? Most likely.
And so I leave you on this depressing night (the Giants just won the Super Bowl) with this thought:
"Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be."
Do not assume that this thought has anything to do with math. However if you can understand why I post this quote tonight, please let me know. I would love to be impressed. Its been awhile.
Go Pats
