For Maybe By Being an A Student, Baby
Consort and kid were working on Stats last night; I decided to participate. "What's with the E?" I asked. "What E?" "The fancy capital E with the extra bits." I am now to understand that 1) That fancy E is summation, 2) I am not to touch the white board and 3) I am encouraged to find other, simpler things to do.

I had to Google summation so I think I'm with you. The wikipedia page confused me all over again. I think it may be why I failed geometry.
I took a class in finance a few months ago that taught the following:
1. The world runs on algebra;
2. Finance is algebra with dollar signs;
3. Finance includes statistics;
4. Statistics for finance is algebra with dollar signs in Greek.
Oh, and ...
5. Net present value.
All the rest was commentary.
Oh, my. I'm with you. I had to look up summation, too, and my eyes crossed. My brain just shuts down.
Its a Sigma Quinn...
