About

This series is for people who want to know how to correctly use statistics beyond just answering math questions on a test. Having taken a dedicated statistics class is not necessary to join (though I assume you know what mean/median/mode are, etc). We will cover topics including normal distributions, study designs, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and significance tests. For those who are taking AP statistics next year, this can serve as a great preview to many of the topics you will be covering. The session will last about 2 weeks, though this depends on how many days a week we choose to meet.

View Profile

I am a high school student in Long Beach, California who loves calculus, physics, and statistics. I genuinely believe that anyone can learn learn challenging topics like calculus and look forward to helping you on your math journey! When I attend university, I want to major in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering and love to mess around with engineering projects in my free time.
