Math Review Week 2
Highlights of what I (re)learned in week #2 of my math studies.

Back to school: teaching an old dog new tricks
I've determined that my early sixties is as good a time as any to begin an intensive self-study of mathematics! I haven't decided on a specific area of focus yet (what's the rush!), but I'm leaning toward data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. I think a more specific focus will become clear as I progress.
