I have a BS in Finance from about 15 years ago but have mainly used it for basic accounting, modeling and financial reporting roles. I am interested in learning how to build predictive models related to customer behavior, but my last math class was an entry level calculus course in college.
I have a basic understanding of statistics (as in, took a 101 level stats course and have read the wikipedia articles about regression analysis.) I would say my algebra & trig are extremely rusty and would probably need to be learned from scratch, and my calc is non-existent.
So, what math do I need to really excel in this field? Mainly stats? Do I need to relearn the algebra and trig before I proceed to higher level math? What else do I need to know?
I have 10 hours / week to dedicate to self-study and I really want to learn.
Help!
Edit: Apologies if I've ruffled some feathers by not looking hard enough for the FAQ or the many weekly identical posts asking for information.
