It’s a fascinating program. +1 for the show. +2 for listening to it. :-) For those not in the UK (or NJ :-), you can get this as a free podcast. I've been listening for years. Awesome content and great humor. I wish American schools would emphasize probability and stats over calculus. Most calculus students, (arguably, almost all) can safely say years later, "no", to the question, "will I ever use this?" Stats and probability, can be use daily by most. If for any reason to question how data is collected and reported. I was very happy when my kid picked AP Stats over AP Calculus. |
