Question is, from which kind of school?
Mathematics taught locally is a brain-dead course - don't bother understanding the formula, just apply to score As. I took the liberty of going off schoolwork to discover the beauty of calculus and infinitesimal numbers back when doing my 'A's and causing it to flunk badly.
Normal statistics is no problem for me, just that I am a little rusty. What I am trying to understand is how to "reason with numbers"; i.e discovering the reason behind all those formulas used.
