I am currently studying for an insurance exam (entirely as dull and dry as it sounds) and am up against some reasonably complex statistical analysis.
Its far too late to do anything for this particular exam but in general I feel my maths is not as strong as it should be and would like to improve a little.
I have GCSE maths and attempted A-Level Physics but always got confused when the more complex equations were introduced – why do they have to phrase it so confusingly? Assume xy/abc is the adjunct of b.v2 and therefore if you differentiate x/bc*1ve = the sun.
I appreciate the algebraic notation is necessary but is there any books / online courses people can recommend that take a more ‘English language’ approach to explaining it all.
Really looking for something that covers trig, quadratics, differentials, stats etc at an intelligent laypersons level – does such a thing exist?
Cheers
