stats is logic, not math

[belenen]

My life has been completely snowed under for the past two weeks by three big stats assignments all due NOW. I've been incredibly stressed about it, but only because they're a huge percent of my grade, not because of the actual work. I feel really confident about my skills with stats

My girlfriend is in graduate school for math and she loves the logic-based aspect of it!

In math, I think the first couple of teachers either show you how to love it or how to hate it.

This is so true: stats isn't math, it's logic. I went to a college that would willingly sub out a math course for stats and I took advantage of that (because math and I are not friends) but I remember a few classmates who were math majors taking stats to "let loose"...

I think it's awesome that you've found something makes so much sense to you. :)

The thought of math can have me running, screaming into the night. I'm pretty sure I never gave it a chance.

I've always preferred the logic side of math over the numbers side, too.
