What are some good math apps that can help me UNDERSTAND what I'm doing? I will likely be taking a statistical class.

What do I need to do to get into statistics. I just am really wondering what type I want to get into. How can I figure out what would be the best specific field in statistics for me, what is the difference between an actuary and an actuarial scientist and how and why does that fit into statistics ?

I just want it to be enjoyable. Sports analyzing catches my eye. However, I realize that is a very hard field to get into as a whole but still.
