Favourite areas in mathematics

Thanks, Haskell is said to be the most mathematical programming language, I still haven't tried it much, but its there and it gets a lot of praise. I went back to Khan Academy for Diffeq, it treats Calculus the way Calculus treats Algebra.

Gotta say Khan Academy has something for everyone, even though you don't get a full-on practice area for higher mathematics, there are still video lectures and practice opportunities. No schedule or textbooks to worry about either; its a great example of technology making life easier. It also gave me the algebra exposure I needed to handle college math.

I don't do much grocery store math, although I really should, there's definitely a pattern to my purchases. I'd be interested to hear more about the math you use in daily situations, I'm in the middle of reorganizing myself completely.

Running for a train is common occurrence. You get to the station and you hear a train pulling. There are two possible trains on your track. The odds are 50/50 that it is your train. After you stick your head down the stairs you know the answer. It is either 100 or 0.

50/50 is a prioiri
100/0 is a posteriori

Good luck with the second part.

Merry Christmas

The type of math that I always loved the most was Real Analysis.
