My mathematics and analytical skills shaped who I am today. I’m writing this as a reminder to parents: don’t neglect math and statistics for your kids.

If you’re strong in math, analytics, and statistics, you can see patterns. And the ability to recognize patterns is one of the most valuable skills in life—especially in finance.

Take Citadel Securities as a case in point:

  • $5.7B revenue (H1 2025)

  • $2.66B net income

  • $1.8B in compensation spread across just 1,800 employees

  • Average pay per employee per year: ~$2M per year

  • Their CEO, Peng Zhao, holds degrees in Math and PhD in Statistics. That background matters.

Whether it’s AI or trading, one truth remains: it pays to be good at math.

I was always bad @ math 🤔 UNTIL I MET MY ORANGE FRIEND BTC! 😁😁😁

Hey James, it would be great to see an in-depth course on this showing how you apply this in real world/ in actual examples, from the ground up. Like a beginner crash maths course. My maths is horrible, I'd pay extra for this maths crash course. Like the courses that we have the opportunity to sign up with Mop bot, Trading Apologist etc, a paid math course, i would love to see something like that.

Hey T, I wasn't the best at maths in high school (maybe average), but in my late twenties I decided I wanted to go back to uni and do a science masters. (I had an arts under grad). I used Brilliant.org and it helped me so much. From there I moved to textbooks, brilliant is visual and speaks my language. Try it. Don't let past experiences (esp. school!) inform assumptions about your skills today. Go get em!

Love this post, but I disagree that Math is specifically what enables you to see patterns. Humans naturally do that! It is how we survive. Math gives us a language to communicate patterns and understand the underlying complexities on a deeper level. That helps to remove doubts and confirm our instinct (which can often be wrong...but sometimes right) A note to everyone! Don't assume just because you were "bad" at maths in school that you can't do this! I call BS. Often math teachers have analytical communication styles that don't click with visual learners! I didn't know I could be good at Maths until my late 20's when I started to re-educate myself to get entry into a graduate science degree. Learning visually, rather than analytically helped me grasp complex topics. I am no Einstein (nss), but I'm so glad I went back and pushed through my doubts with math. It has indeed led to greater things!

He is great. Very humble. I met him a few times when working on their new office

💯 Without STEM we don't have society. Just farmers and hunter gathering tribalism. Oh! Wait... 😬

James never states that math SPECIFICALLY is the key to patterns, the statement implied to me that added to humans natural gifts, learning math and analytical skills is important to pass on to your child for the most beneficial outcome.

sucks that I'm mathtarded.....

Mr. Paradise

I always firmly believed I suck at Math, since Childhood, was ALWAYS struggling in school and had to repeat 10ths grade because of Math. In truth it was NEVER about the subject, but more that I was afraid of my early Math Teacher and also got in fights with my parents about homework and the bad grades.... As a grown up man, I still struggle with exam Anxiety... BUT now I am an absolut Nerd and Wizard if it is about % and Compounding. I understand and learn consistently out of my own free will in my free time XD James is such a passionate & joyful Teacher, that is is infecting and he has the ability to explain super complicated and boring as things, with real life relation, that it is (quite) easy to unerstand! :D THANK YOU James
