My sabbatical was accepted, I'm taking a year to push hard towards habilitation. Success or not, I'm leaving.

Also, gonna use that year to learn some data science tools beyond "Python and some R, I guess?" and... euch, actually learn and understand, <vomits mid-sleep>, some finance <dry heaves>. God, I still think this is too mature of me.

kb (and others too!), what do you recommend? Is there something that's conceptually For Dummies but isn't afraid of maths? 'cause in my experience it's either "here's de Vries equation describing <white noise in fluent garbage>" or "money can be exchanged for goods and services, here's a five-page description of a fucking supply-demand graph."
