Mathematics often feels straightforward, yet some results challenge the way people instinctively think about numbers. Certain paradoxes and probability problems produce answers that seem impossible at ...

If a new pathogen causes a large epidemic, then it might “burn out” before causing a second epidemic. The burnout probability can be estimated from large numbers of computationally intensive ...

“One Guinness, please!” a customer says to a barkeep, who flips a branded pint glass and catches it under the tap. The barkeep begins a multistep pour process lasting precisely 119.5 seconds, which, ...

What makes a proof stronger than a guess? What does evidence look like in the realm of mathematical abstraction? Hear the mathematician Melanie Matchett Wood explain how probability helps to guide ...

An explanation of the Dunning–Kruger effect is provided which does not require any psychological explanation, because it is derived as a statistical artifact. This is achieved by specifying a simple ...

The spatial variability of soil properties is inherent. A series of direct shear tests were carried out on strongly weathered slates samples with weak bedding planes, the result of which indicates the ...
