This was posted on a closed thread a while back without a real answer:

While the two-variable case is easy enough: E[X⋅Y]=Cov[X,Y]+E[X]⋅E[Y]
Does anybody know how to express the product of THREE dependent RVs? In other words, given three RV called X, Y, and Z, I want to derive:

E[X⋅Y⋅Z]=... ?

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
Hi there! This is Vmax, an old (relatively, but the profession can definitively accelerate aging) aerospace engineer now returning to physics in my 50s. I can definitively use some help in refreshing long forgotten topics and guidance in tackling new challenging subjects in modern physics. I'm looking forward to engaging in interesting, informative and stimulating conversations with you all. Have a great day!
