How should I approach this? Library books? Khan academy? Free online courses (there seem to be some?)
Would appreciate any suggestions
Do you need ot understand the models and such? What do you need to do with the papers you read?
Usually the people who write those papers don't understand. They just print what the computer spits out
Just assume the paper's conclusion is true and move on.
