"Also had a class on probability which was the first time I've had probability taken past the basic stuff you learn in general maths. Didn't get it well at first so it got next to none of my attention, didn't end up doing the homeworks which contributed to the end mark, crammed for it but still just failed. Hoping I find it more interesting this year."<p>Speaking from experience, probability and statistics <i>will</i> come up again in your life, and it is worth your time to learn them well.  The answer to every practical question is "maybe," with varying degrees of certainty.  You can't address these questions analytically without invoking probability and/or statistics.<p>I didn't take my statistics courses that seriously when I first took them, and have been making up for it ever since.
