    I took statistics with Roger Purves. I distinctly remember him saying that stats wasn’t “math” in his intro lecture.

      Hehe, I mean I’m forced to teach by-hand statistics to undergraduates and we have to do… arithmetics. Multiplication. Division. Square roots!

      It’s a pretty established truth that we don’t really do math. Lol
