How do I formulate this? Would save me loads of headache.

@yinyang it sounds like the same mathematics as is used to predict probability clusters, in guessing where an electron is most likely to appear in space-time, since their movements are erratic

Or maybe I’m way off base? I don’t know… I read some pretty weird ■■■■

Yeah, probability is part of statistics. I think that is next unit.

@ninjastar Congrats!! You deserve to treat yo’self!

I secretly love standard deviations (I also busywork for brain breaks…)

Nothing wrong with having a little pride in your accomplishments. Well done! What course are you doing?

Meanwhile, an English major:

Statistics and computer programming this semester. I’m getting some prerequisites out of the way before I apply to a PhD program for neuroscience.

Woah!

@ninjastar it’s been nearly 20 years since I programmed, but if you ever need help drop me a line
