In our school in Germany there was an observation: students who do well in math usually have somewhat worse grades in statistics. While students who were bad at math often did better in statistics.
In grade 12 and 13 it went like algebra, statistics, geometry, geometry (per semester). Basically, you either got A B+ A A, or D B- D D.
Writing this down I realize they should absolutely make a statistical analysis on these results.

Nonparametric statistics broke me, and the professor too based on his own confusion

Oh, statistics is a completely different beast. From the kind that will actually attack you, differently from the ones the OP is afraid of.

"Trignometry" might be my favorite typo.

It's the mathematical study of groups of three gnomes.

I don't get this meme although I am a mathematician, what does it mean?

What's wrong with probability? I found it once of the easier areas to learn, it's just basic maths with different names.

If it's any consolation, I suck at trigonometry!

What math education do you have ? (No judgement whatsoever)
Kushan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 335d
Up to GCSE advanced maths, if that means anything to you.

For further maths at A level we started with about 10 people, one "normal" maths class and one statistics class later, we had dropped to 3 people

It was the same for me, both in school and when studying CS. It's almost as if the difficulty of learning topics is different for everyone.

JUST BECAUSE it's the only math class I had to take twice, doesn't mean it's bad... I agree that statistics is some evil

Trignometry...

Probability? OK.
Statistics? Mmm... sus

...I like probability and statistics. Complex numbers on the other hand can go take a dive for all I care.
