If you know a programming language, stuff like Wolfram (or doing it in Python/R) can really help.
Stats suffers quite heavily from having to introduce some ideas, most importantly distributions, which can be tricky to intuit at first. Running through some examples with Wolfram (there is a free version which you can in Jupyter) or using the stats package from scipy in Python was very helpful to me personally.
- jplr8922 5y agoI agree. I once spoke with a statistics professor in charge of the undergraduate program at my university. I asked him tons of questions about the cursus, and swiftly replied "Yes the program is far from perfect. However understand that statistics is still a new field compared to calculus. I do not think that we know how to teach all of this correctly...". I wish Taleb could write a book about it!
- pram 5y agoDoes that stuff work in Wolfram Alpha?
