Life is uncertain. We are all the result of an unforeseen and unforeseeable sequence of small occurrences. But what underlies this fragile chain of events? Is it random or just complex? And what role does luck play in our lives? David Spiegelhalter has spent his career crunching data in order to help understand uncertainty and assess the chances of what might happen. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives listeners a window onto how we can all do this better.

In the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates "The River," or those whose mastery of risk allows them to shape—and dominate—so much of modern life. These professional risk takers—poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and blue-chip art collectors—can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the 21st century.

What has counting meant to different cultures and different individuals? In this book, historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh explores stories from all over the world and from every period of human history, from the African Stone Age to cyberspace; from Assyrian kings to Chinese peasants. Weaving these histories together, Wardhaugh shows the ways in which counting has been continually reinvented over time, through language, writing, counters and machines.

We are living through a revolution in artificial intelligence that is not slowing down. This major shift is based on simple mathematics, some of which goes back centuries: linear algebra and calculus, the stuff of eighteenth-century mathematics. Indeed by the mid-1850s, a lot of the groundwork was all done. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental maths behind AI, which suggests that the basics of natural and artificial intelligence might follow the same mathematical rules.

Why do mobile phones work when you're on a train? What happens when you pull a pop song apart into pure sine waves and play it back on a piano? And what did mathematicians have to do with the great pig stampede of 2012? The answer to each of these questions can be found in the triangle. Join Matt Parker, stand-up comedian and author of the first ever maths book to be a No. 1 bestseller, as he uncovers the secrets of trigonometry and shares extraordinary stories about the mathematicians, philosophers and engineers who dared to take triangles seriously.

PLAYING WITH REALITY explores the riveting history of games since the Enlightenment, weaving an unexpected path through military theory, biology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and the future of democracy. As neuroscientist and physicist Kelly Clancy shows us, games have been deeply intertwined with the arc of history. War games shaped the outcomes of real wars in nineteenth and twentieth century Europe. Game theory warped our understanding of human behavior and brought us to the brink of annihilation.

We play games to learn about the world, to understand our minds and the minds of others, and to make predictions about the future. Games are an essential aspect of humanity and a powerful tool for modeling reality. They’re also a lot of fun. But games can be dangerous, especially when we mistake the model worlds of games for reality itself and let gamification co-opt human decision making. Playing with Reality explores the riveting history of games since the Enlightenment.

Join sensational drag queen Kyne Santos on an extraordinary journey through the glamorous world of…math? This sassy book is your VIP pass, taking you behind the scenes with a TikTok superstar who shatters stereotypes and proves that math can be fascinating and fun, even for people who think they aren’t good at it.

Statistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalised, particularly in the media. In the age of big data, as data science becomes established as a discipline, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever. In The Art of Statistics, David Spiegelhalter guides the listener through the essential principles we need in order to derive knowledge from data.

Math has a reputation for being inaccessible. People think that it requires a special gift or that comprehension is a matter of genes. Yet, the greatest mathematicians throughout history, from Rene Descartes to Alexander Grothendieck, have insisted that this is not the case.

Matematica. Se pensiamo a quanti modi ci sono di concepirla, impararla, percepirla nel mondo e nel tempo, che variano da soggetto a soggetto, verrebbe forse da pensarla al plurale: "Matematiche". Anche perché riguarda tutte le persone: fin dal suo apprendimento, la matematica ha un impatto rilevante sulle nostre vite e spesso si lega a emozioni forti, tra cui la paura di fallire. I voti in matematica continuano a terrorizzare generazioni di studenti e studentesse. Perché succede? Come riconciliarsi con questa disciplina bellissima, ma spesso odiata? Fino a che punto il suo insegnamento può ...

Rain Man, Las Vegas 21, Very Bad Trip…Le blackjack, jeu de casino mythique, a été représenté de nombreuses fois au cinéma. Beaucoup d’entre nous ont déjà vaguement entendu parler du « comptage des cartes », cette façon de gagner au casino sur le long terme.Néanmoins, la réalité est bien souvent différente de la fiction.Vingt-et-un est une série de podcasts qui donne la parole à des pratiquants du jeu, des connaisseurs, qui expliquent concrètement les bases mathématiques, les prérequis, pour ainsi donner une vision réaliste du comptage des cartes au blackjack. ...

In this episode of Tπ Talk, we delve into the fascinating world of intuition - that innate, unexplainable feeling that guides us in making decisions and navigating life's complexities. Intuition often serves as a silent but powerful compass, leading us toward choices that resonate with our inner selves and align with our deepest values.We discuss what intuition is and explore its mysterious workings - how it communicates subtle messages, sparks inspiration, and offers insights beyond logical reasoning. Through personal anecdotes and shared experiences, we reflect on how intuition has shaped ...

Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential.

At its simplest, Bayes’s theorem describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event. But in Everything Is Predictable, Tom Chivers lays out how it affects every aspect of our lives. He explains why highly accurate screening tests can lead to false positives and how a failure to account for it in court has put innocent people in jail. A cornerstone of rational thought, many argue that Bayes’s theorem is a description of almost everything.

Alan Turing was the mathematician whose cipher-cracking transformed the Second World War. Taken on by British Intelligence in 1938, as a shy young Cambridge don, he combined brilliant logic with a flair for engineering. In 1940 his machines were breaking the Enigma-enciphered messages of Nazi Germany's air force. He then headed the penetration of the super-secure U-boat communications.

Kleine Datensätze entstehen immer dann, wenn Ereignisse selten auftreten, schwer zu beobachten sind, oder soweit aus der Vergangenheit stammen, dass heute nur noch wenige Fundstücke erhalten sind. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise meteorologische Phänomene, seltene Krankheiten oder (prä-)historische Funde. Im Thematischen Einstein-Semester Small Data Analysis blicken Mathematiker:innen und Forscher:innen verschiedener Disziplinen gemeinsam auf die wissenschaftliche Praxis rund um kleine Datensätze und entwickeln in intensiver Zusammenarbeit neue Forschungsmethoden, die helfen sollen, ...
