<p>I think this is fine, but with two caveats.  </p>

<ol>
<li>You should probably add the <code>[self-study]</code> tag, and be explicit about your situation.  (Be sure to read its <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/tags/self-study/info">wiki</a> as well.)  </li>
<li>It isn't clear from your description that there is a lot of <em>statistical</em> content to your proposed questions (I assume there is, or you wouldn't be asking here).  Depending on how much of your question would be about the statistical aspect vs. how much would be just a double check on your math skills, it may be more appropriate to post your question on <a href="https://math.stackexchange.com/">math.SE</a> instead.  </li>
</ol>
