Counting and axioms · First class
Pick where you want to start
Each heading is its own course. Later ones open when you finish — or skip — the one before. A later course does not reteach earlier bands.
Counting and axioms
Start hereSet up a sample space, use counting when it helps, and apply the axioms including complements and unions.
Conditional probability
After Counting and axioms — test out to unlockUse the definition, Bayes, and independence on a two-stage problem without mixing them.
Discrete random variables
After Conditional probability — test out to unlockWork Bernoulli, binomial, and geometric, including PMF, CDF, and a simple expectation.
Continuous random variables
After Discrete random variables — test out to unlockUse a PDF and CDF for uniform and exponential, and compute a probability as an integral.
Expectation and variance
After Continuous random variables — test out to unlockCompute E and Var, including linearity, and use them on a sum of independent variables.
Limit theorems
After Expectation and variance — test out to unlockState LLN and CLT in a form you can use, and apply a normal approximation with a check that n is large enough.

Why a path, not a playlist
Axioms, conditionals, random variables, limits. Later headings open after the one before.
Each heading is its own course with a tutor. Later headings open when you finish — or test out of — the one before.
After you sign in
- •You land on this map — every heading is already there.
- •Take the open class, or test out of a later heading to unlock it.
- •Each heading is one shared course — same syllabus and first class for everyone. Later classes continue on your copy.
