It applies to all branches of science. For example statistics: there's no such thing as "letting the data speak for themselves"; they're always interpreted against a background of assumptions and prior knowledge.
Skewray Research {ICE≡Gestapo}I spent two weeks trying to numerically demonstrate convergence of the generalized central limit theorem for the critical case where the variance just becomes infinite. I failed! I suspect my choice of norm was a poor one.
Modeling the sum of 10^30 random variables is challenging.

The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🎲🌀 How do mathematicians find patterns in unpredictable events? This #video explains randomness through Michel Talagrand's groundbreaking work on mathematical inequalities.
Random events follow patterns called "normal distributions". After 1,000 coin flips, getting only heads is almost impossible—randomness becomes predictable within limits.

This week the #puzzle is: Can You Weave the Web? #geometry #trigonometry #probability (Link at the bottom.) A spider weaves a web within a unit square (i.e., a square with side length 1) in the following haphazard manner: First, the spider picks two points at random inside the square. In particular, it picks the points […]
