I've always been a math geek. As a kid I remember asking my mom to take out the math flash cards as opposed to the other cards. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, it didn't matter. As I got older I was always in the advanced math classes. I even joined the Math team competing against other math geeks. When I hit college, as the math got more difficult - calculus 1 through 3 and differential equations, I continued to excel. Then I took statistics, not the easy statistics either, and my perception of math changed. Statistics confounded every joy I derived from math as it made math confusing. My professor once wrote on the board, NUMBERS DON'T LIE, PEOPLE DO. Then crossed out people with STATISTICS.
If you read the newspaper's here in Denver, the Denver market is flat. They cite the glut of homes, the foreclosures, and the staggering amount of loan and real estate fraud. Not once do they cite that historically Denver's appreciation is above the national average.
I blogged about the Denver REal Estate Analysis, check it out here. It's about a report on Denver from another math geek. I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments.
