learn R

R is unfortunately a tool for the statistically illiterate p-hackers. Learning R won't teach you stats

it was meant as a "install gentoo" post, but fuck you for besmirching R.

rip old /g/

Is there a recognized sequence of textbooks
that go
combinatorics -> probability theory -> stats?

You don't need a dedicated book on combinatorics, most probably books cover all the combinatorics you need.

For mathematical statistics, the gold standard is Statistical Inference by Cassela and Berger.
Regression is a pretty important subject, just make sure that you study it from the matrix point of view.
Multivariate Statistics is also something you should study.
As for programming languages that is field dependent, but a lot of industry still uses SAS no matter what the fa/g/s say.

Yeah probably
