[BlindMath] BlindMath Digest, Vol 234, Issue 2

[Faraz Khanafari]

Hello Ray. About your first question, check out https://www.openstax.org,
navigate to the link "choose your subject", under the math heading you'll
find statistics. Check out the online version of the book and see if it
satisfies your requirements.
About your second point, I'm not sure if it was a question or an
experience you were sharing with us...Anyway I use chatgpt for
deeper explanations than are provided in my textbook, as I'm self-learning
calculus.
I find prompts such as "I want to reconstruct the thought-process of how
one would come across such an idea", or "how do I intuitively understand
this", or "how would you explain this from the ground up" etc. especially
helpful.

All the best

Faraz
