Psychology

A working understanding of psychology — what the science actually claims about how minds, brains, and behavior fit together. The trunk gives you the orientation a literate professional needs (how psychology knows what it knows, the brain behind behavior, learning, memory, decision-making, emotion, personality, social influence, development, pathology, and what therapy does); clusters dive into research methods, perception, cognition mechanics, social influence tactics, the field guide of disorders, applied behavioral science, and the psychology of everyday life.

A working understanding of calculus — the mathematics of change and accumulation. The trunk gives you the throughline from limits and derivatives through the Fundamental Theorem to the borderlands where calculus hands off to analysis. Clusters dive into rigorous limits, integration techniques, multivariable and vector calculus, differential equations, series, and complex analysis.

A working understanding of the craft of selling — buyer psychology, discovery, qualification, objection handling, negotiation, and pipeline math. The trunk walks one complete deal motion from prospect to close to expansion; clusters dive into outbound mechanics, discovery frameworks, objection playbooks, negotiation, founder-led sales, and enterprise deals.

Legal literacy — how law actually works. The trunk gives you the operating system: where law comes from, how courts and precedent work, contracts, torts, property, criminal vs civil, and constitutional structure. Clusters dive into reading cases, contract mechanics, IP, your rights with police, and the startup legal toolkit.

A working understanding of mathematics — the universal language scientists, engineers, and quants use to describe the world. The trunk gives you the throughline from how mathematicians think to how math models reality; clusters dive into proof, trig, calculus mechanics, advanced linear algebra, number theory and cryptography, probability, stochastic processes, and the foundational limits of math itself.

A working understanding of human history — from the first hominids to the global world we live in now. The trunk walks the throughline most people never got: how civilizations actually emerge, why empires rise and fall, and how the modern world was made. Clusters dive into the cities, classical mind, slave trade, revolutions, world wars, and how historians actually do their job.

A working understanding of cybersecurity — how attackers operate, how defenders push back, and the moving parts of every modern security program. The trunk gives you the throughline from threat model to defense to response; clusters dive into cryptography, network defense, web application security, secure coding, penetration testing, incident response, cloud security, and governance.
