From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.

Hors Calcul est un podcast narratif consacré à ces moments où les mathématiques surgissent là où personne ne les avait invitées. Un casino, un embouteillage, une file d’attente, une application de rencontres, une décision absurde ou une coïncidence improbable peuvent cacher des probabilités, des algorithmes et des stratégies bien plus intéressants qu’il n’y paraît. Chaque épisode part d’une histoire et utilise les mathématiques pour révéler ce qui se joue sous la surface. Inutile de résoudre des équations ou de rouvrir un manuel : il suffit d’être curieux et d’...

La Elegancia del Error es un podcast narrativo sobre matemáticas para quienes ya saben que una demostración puede ser tan hermosa como una obra de arte y que una buena equivocación puede resultar más fértil que cien respuestas correctas. Cada episodio reconstruye una idea, una obsesión, una paradoja o un fracaso que obligó a los matemáticos a mirar un problema de otra manera. Euclides, Euler, Cantor, Russell, Gödel y otros protagonistas aparecen no como estatuas de la historia, sino como personas intentando pensar en los límites de lo posible. El programa asume un oyente cómodo ...

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a Mathematician? Hear from Mathematicians at the University of Leeds about their research, their journey to becoming a Mathematician, as well as what keeps them busy outside of University life.

Welcome to the Concrete Blocks Calculator Podcast — a practical show for contractors, builders, DIYers, homeowners, and construction professionals. We cover practical topics related to concrete blocks, CMU walls, masonry, block quantities, mortar and cement calculations, wall estimating, construction planning, and other essential building calculations. Our goal is to make construction estimating easier by explaining calculations in a simple, practical way. Whether you’re estimating materials for a new project, planning a masonry wall, or simply learning more about concrete block ...

Brought to you by Penguin. Is this the game you want to be playing? Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our...

Sparked by observing teachers struggle to implement rich mathematics tasks to engage students in deep thinking, Peter Liljedahl has translated his 15 years of research into this practical guide on how to move toward a thinking classroom. Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K-12 helps teachers implement 14 optimal practices for thinking that create an ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur.

When was the last time you read a grand statement, accompanied by a large number and wondered whether it could really be true? Statistics are vital in helping us tell stories - we see them in the papers, on social media and we hear them used in everyday conversation - and yet we doubt them more than ever. But numbers - in the right hands - have the power to change the world for the better. Contrary to popular belief, good statistics are not a trick, although they are a kind of magic.

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. 

The companion book to COURSERA's wildly popular massive open online course "Learning How to Learn" Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a new skill set, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need...

The official book behind the Academy Award-winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley 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...

Britain’s most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know. Is the universe infinite? Do we know what happened before the Big Bang? Where is human consciousness located in the brain? And are there more undiscovered particles out there, beyond the Higgs...

Brought to you by Penguin. We think we know bullshit when we hear it, but do we? A spotter's guide to bullshit in the wild from two brilliantly contrarian scientists The world is awash in bullshit, and we're drowning in it. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press...

In his soft yet captivating voice, award-winning actor Tony Shalhoub (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Monk) calmly tells the tale of how the ancient Greeks formalized the study of mathematics based on Phoenician teachings.

Thomas Bayes was an eighteenth-century Presbyterian minister and amateur mathematician whose obscure life belied the profound impact of his work. Like most research into probability at the time, his theorem - independently discovered a few years later by Pierre-Simon Laplace, the great French mathematician - was mainly seen as relevant to games of chance, like dice and cards. But its implications soon became clear, affecting fields as diverse as medicine, law and artificial intelligence.

Behind the familiar surfaces of the telephone, radio, and television lies a sophisticated and intriguing body of knowledge known as information theory. This is the theory that has permitted the rapid development of all sorts of communication, from color television to the clear transmission of photographs from the vicinity of Jupiter. Even more revolutionary progress is expected in the future.  

In Calculating the Cosmos, Ian Stewart presents an exhilarating guide to the cosmos, from our solar system to the entire universe. He describes the architecture of space and time, dark matter and dark energy, how galaxies form, why stars implode, how everything began, and how it's all going to end. He considers parallel universes, the fine-tuning of the cosmos for life, what forms extraterrestrial life might take, and the likelihood of life on Earth being snuffed out by an asteroid.
