René Descartes is one of the formative figures in Western philosophy, logic and mathematics. His famous statement: "I think, therefore I am," has become perhaps the most famous phrase in all of philosophy. Descartes’s ground-breaking writings attempted to establish unshakeable foundations of knowledge, and set a trend for subsequent Western philosophy, which has endlessly critiqued and expanded upon his ideas.

What Are the Chances? reveals how psychology and neuroscience explain the significance of the idea of luck. Barbara Blatchley explores how people react to random events in a range of circumstances, examining the evidence that the belief in luck helps us cope with a lack of control. She tells the stories of lucky and unlucky people as well as the accidental discoveries that fundamentally changed what we know about the brain.

I saggi di questo volume, che toccano la politica, la religione, la letteratura, la filosofia, la matematica e la scienza, sono raccolti in sezioni che si aprono con interviste immaginarie a personaggi del passato (Hitler, Gesù, Dante, Aristotele, Archimede, Newton) e si chiudono con interviste reali a quelli del presente (Chomsky, il Dalai Lama, Saramago, Kripke, Nash e Watson). Nel mezzo, il matematico impertinente dispiega l'arsenale della ragione per argomentare che non è affatto vero che non possiamo non dirci cristiani, o che siamo tutti americani.

Why does mathematics—a creation of the human mind—describe the physical world with such extraordinary precision? Why do equations invented for one purpose turn out, decades or centuries later, to be the perfect language for a completely different realm of nature? In 1960, the Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner called this correspondence a 'gift we neither understand nor deserve.' The question has haunted science ever since. In this book, Boris Kriger proposes an answer that is at once simple and profound: mathematics describes the world because only the mathematically structured survives.

We often treat data cleaning as a neutral step.Delete missing rows. Fill gaps with the mean. Move on.But cleaning is not neutral. It is a modeling decision.In this episode, we unpack the statistical consequences of deletion and simple imputation, and why what looks “clean” can fundamentally alter your estimand, distort variance, and bias inference.We walk through:The formal role of the missingness indicatorThe difference between MCAR, MAR, and MNARWhy complete-case analysis is rarely as safe as it seemsHow mean imputation collapses variance and attenuates regression slopesWhen multiple ...

The Random Pattern explores the uneasy space where mathematics collides with human intuition. Every week, we examine randomness, probability, and the persistent belief that hidden systems govern events that are, in reality, independent and unpredictable. From lottery strategies and coincidence theories to cognitive bias and statistical illusion, this podcast asks a simple question: Why does the human mind insist on finding meaning where mathematics says none exists? Rather than promising predictions, we break down the structure of uncertainty itself. Using clear explanations of probability, ...
