As the start of the MBA draws near I am working to complete all the required course work prior to beginning orientation.  I am currently taking a Harvard Business School online course on Quantitative Analysis.  The class is very interesting and I enjoy the subject matter, but I am the first to say that the calculations can be overwhelming. 

I understand the concepts and the practical application, but remembering the specific formula to answer a particular question is the tough part.  Repetition is the only retention tool that seems to work, but for a class that is 20 plus hours long repetition has its limits.  Multiple regression is the current section, WOW! there are some really smart math gurus out there.

Who thinks about how to calculate these equations?  Thank you Excel.
