Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Five modules, one exam strategy.
The paper is split into 5 modules; you answer any FIVE full questions, with at least ONE from each module. Knowing the map is half the battle.
↳ Pick your strongest question from each module first, then fill the fifth from your best module.
Fit any polynomial with these equations.
For $y = a_0x^2 + a_1x + a_2$, minimize the sum of squared errors. The normal equations are:
↳ Build a table of $\sum x, \sum x^2, \sum x^3, \sum x^4, \sum y, \sum xy, \sum x^2y$ first — then solve the 3×3 system.
Two regression lines hide the correlation.
Given regression lines $b_{yx}$ and $b_{xy}$, the correlation coefficient is the geometric mean of the two slopes.
↳ $r = \sqrt{b_{yx} \cdot b_{xy}}$ — and the means $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$ lie on BOTH regression lines.
This kit covers the full BMATB301 syllabus: curve fitting and correlation/regression, probability distributions (Binomial, Poisson, Exponential, Normal), hypothesis testing (z, t, chi-square), mathematical logic and proo…

19 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
The method of least squares fits a curve by minimising which quantity?
Beginner$\sum (y_i - \hat{y}_i)^2$
Least squares minimises the sum of squared vertical deviations between observed and fitted values.
For the curve $y = a_0x^2 + a_1x + a_2$, how many normal equations must be solved?
BeginnerThree
There are three unknown coefficients $a_0, a_1, a_2$, so three normal equations are needed.
Both regression lines always pass through which point?
Beginner$(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$
The two regression lines intersect at the point of means $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$.
The coefficient of correlation is given by which formula in terms of regression coefficients?
Beginner$r = \pm\sqrt{b_{yx} \cdot b_{xy}}$
The product of the two regression coefficients equals $r^2$, so $r = \pm\sqrt{b_{yx} \cdot b_{xy}}$.
