I never did like math. My brain doesn't seem to think this way. So imagine the fun I'm having with a college statistics course. I felt okay the first week or two, but by week three I'm out of my league. Can't follow it, don't like it. Don't understand why in the world I need to know such things. I'm a word girl, I don't care about squaring numbers and finding their square roots.
If it wasn't for my loving husband, this class would be dropped. He has sat hours with me helping me understand the problems and assisting me when I wanted to try no more. To him it's a challenge. It's fun to try, learn, and get it right. To me, it's a foreign language from a country I have no plans to visit.
I love a good challenge, but let's be real....when in the world will I use standard deviation of grouped data?

Here, here. I am right with you. I ended up dropping my college statistics course because there was no loving husband at the time to help me out. Nobody I knew could help me out. What is the purpose of taking that course unless you're insane or a math major? The only course I ever dropped.
I found some other math class that met the requirement and moved on. "Real math" or something. Good luck. The semester won't last forever!
It is hard to see how something like this would be remotely relevant to our mommy worlds. And i LIKE math! i find at the end of a long day its hard enough to have a worthy conversation, let alone mull over a statistics problem!
