The Cauchy Distribution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_distribution is an example of a distribution without mean nor variance nor higher moments. Though I believe mean and median are defined.

Note there are several types of convergence in the area of Probabilities. Here, the convergence is in Distribution.

I rarely hear the word ' eschew'. But when I do, I pretend not to and ask the speaker to repeat it a couple of times. Then I say ' Gesundheit'.

...Or the emblem of syrup for 9 pancakes. Eh?

From YT: " What happens when we go beyond ' Plank' length?" We fall into the sea?

There are a few oasis about. Mostly Math, Science sites. Few and far in between.

Ok, I've gotten into the bad habit of getting into debates in YT, which I'm trying to discipline myself to stop doing. Still, I think I've come up with a good line before leaving any exchange: " Send regards to Mr Dunning and Mr Kruger ".

And required security and other clearance.

I personally suggest you browse casually through topics and when you have enough knowledge, you buy the book. Otherwise if you want to go into a book directly, I liked Van Lint and Wilson's book. Edit: You may get a " Combinatorics lite" book using a Discrete Math book. Edit 2: Sorry, this book...

Drop by a technical library or college library and check out their Combinatorics section, see which one feels right to you.

Hmm, I was seeing an ad for " When Animals Attack". I can imagine finishing my day eating wings, with an ice-cold beer, watching a snake swallowing up a rabbit whole. Edit: I wonder if it was intended as a joke.

The thing about the ( flip side of the ) Dunning-Krueger club ( YouTube discussions) is , you don't know you're part of the Dunning-Krueger club.

How about looking into working with Arduinos? Hands on too, you can guide them along.
