This week I finished off the unit Probability and got ~30% of the way through the following unit Counting, Permutations, and Combinations. I thought both units were interesting but found the former particularly interesting and somewhat practical for the real world. Calculating the probabilities of relatively basic events were somehow simple to work through, yet… Read More Week 49 – Aug. 3rd to Aug. 9th

My first girlfriend broke up with me when I was 18 years old which, funny enough, is the time I first started going to the gym. I initially found it quite difficult to motivate myself to workout. Fast forward 12 years and working out is as integral a part of my life as eating breakfast… Read More Week 48 – June 27th to Aug. 2nd

It was once again another disappointing week in terms of getting through units. The only unit I got through, Exploring Bivariate Numerical Data, ended up being fairly challenging, but it certainly didn’t help that I didn’t have access to the internet for 3/5 days. (I was away at a cottage and the internet ran out.)… Read More Week 47 – June 20th to July 26th

I have three courses in statistics left to get through before I begin calculus. My goal since the start of the year has been to begin calculus at least before the new year. Looking ahead and seeing how many units there are in each statistic course and considering my average pace of units per week,… Read More Week 46 – June 13th to July 19th

I’m fairly certain I’ve mentioned this before, but I currently work as a squash pro. I believe my best ranking as a junior was 8th in Canada. Since I was 11 years old, I remember wanting to climb the junior rankings to get as highly ranked as possible. I literally spent hundreds (perhaps even thousands)… Read More Week 45 – June 6th to July 12th

At the beginning of the week I thought I was going to be able to get a KA hatrick but I didn’t quite manage it. I did get through the first two units, however, Analyzing Categorical Data and Displaying and Comparing Quantitative Data. I had finished ~20-25% of each unit before I began them but… Read More Week 44 – June 29th to July 5th

Mission accomplished. Not only did get through the unit Trigonometric Equations and Identities this week, but I also finished the course test scoring 29/30 on my first attempt! If I had taken bit more time to think it through, I probably shouldn’t have missed the one question I got wrong either. There were times in… Read More Week 43 – June 22nd to June 28th

Week 42 was a bit weird. I feel like I made a lot of progress and got a lot of work done but paradoxically didn’t actually get through many videos or exercises. As I mentioned last week, I’ve been working through what are known as Trigonometric Identities which are essentially different types of formulas that… Read More Week 42 – June 15th to June 21st

So I didn’t finish the unit Trigonometric Equations and Identities this week. My worry that the unit would end up being substantially more difficult than the previous ones in Trigonometry ended up coming true. I also came to a section that I’m fairly certain KA hadn’t properly prepared me for. That being said, I did… Read More Week 41 – June 8th to June 14th

This week I achieved my goal of getting through two units, The Unit Circle Definition of Sine, Cosine and Tangent and Graphs of Trigonometric Functions. I finished about half of the former unit in Week 39 so wrapping that up wasn’t too difficult. Getting through the latter unit took me about 5 days but proved… Read More Week 40 – June 1st to June 7th
