In keeping with our belief that a baseline understanding of statistics, finance, and economics is a required element in your tool set, I implore you to check out the following:

Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason, merges public policy, economics, and of late some statistics at Marginal Revolution.

Carl Bialik over at the WSJ and Gelf Magazine to name just a few, examines the way numbers are used and abused in The Numbers Guy. I was initially drawn to visit for a statistics quiz, based on Leonard Mlodinow’s book, The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives. Take the quiz, read the book (it’s great primer), and check out Carl’s interview with Mlodinow here.

If you’d like suggest other blogs or sources relevant to beefing up critical yet seemingly ignored skill sets, please let me know. Also, look for a static page aggregating this and similar info to pop up soon.
