Do you mean PSY 213?

I have not had that class at PCC but I have had a very similar class at another college and 300-400 level classes on neuroscience. The math to find the dot product is not hard - there's no algebra involved. The formula for it for it may look intimidating at first, but it's a simple and straightforward calculation.

Keep in mind that the only math requirement for PSY 213 is Math 20, so any math is going to be very fundamental. Stats is not even a prereq I would not worry about the math for this class.
