<p>Sorry, just one more comment regarding AP Stats. Don’t write it off if your son likes that sort of stuff. My son loves, loves, loves statistics and probability, so he enjoyed any stats/probability stuff he did. He’s always been a sports fan and just adores sports statistics. He’s played in (way too many) Fantasy Football leagues for years, played baseball for years, and enjoys card games with friends. And more recently and more seriously, he interned as a data scientist-still is part time this semester-and found his niche.</p>
<p>AP stats is a great introduction as is AoPS’s Probability and Stats class or books (my son just read them for fun). Other books that were great were Cartoon Guide to Statistics, Curveball: Baseball, Statistics and the Role of Chance in the Game, Chances Are: Adventures in Probability, and more.</p>
<p>@ItsJustSchool, that’s great to know that a student from MiraCosta transferred to MIT. Very cool!</p>
