Agree. I think getting really good at addition subtraction and multiplication and then division/fractions is the way to go though. Have really strong math fundamentals and then learn algebra and then everything else is far easier to pick up.

Fair point. My first introduction to stats was at second year in uni though, far too late. By that time I had already done a lot of calculus, which while important, hasn’t exactly been critical in my daily life.
