Thanks so much for the 1 min lecture. I find double entry bookkeeping to be oftentimes counterintuitive, perhaps because I never learned it. I have sort of figured out enough about accounting (reading balance sheets, trying to match cash to accrual incomes, etc) to keep up with fundamental analyses (and sometimes even fake it myself), but the idea of a debit to assets resulting in an increase in assets still seems backwards to me ;-) And "income tax asset bad, income tax liability good" took some getting used to as well.A Statistics Primer for University Graduates - No prior statistics knowledge needed, assumes strong grasp of math and calculus Structural Engineering for Math or Physics Grads - You know the tools, here's the application Financial Analysis for University Graduates - Or, all a scientist needs to become an equity analyst Accounting for non-Business Graduates - How to understand accountants, and speak to them without embarrassing yourself English Grammar for Programmers, Scientists and Engineers - "Whom" isn't just snotty, it's also precise and de-ambiguifying!
