Are you fascinated by the laws of nature, quantum physics, and its basic concepts that seem meaningless? Quantum mechanics is a field that attempts to understand the behavior of subatomic objects using mathematical notions. The book explains uncertainty and time dependence by further elaborating on the principles of quantum states. It also describes the entanglement of particle and wave states, thereby offering interested listeners the possibility of understanding physics at a slower tempo.

Math Lab is the podcast where we delve into intriguing math and logic puzzles. Every episode, we introduce a new puzzle and then solve the puzzle from the previous episode. Many of the puzzles we solve together are linked to deeper mathematical and logic principles that will help you expand your daily thinking and problem-solving creativity.

In their groundbreaking book "Freakonomics," University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner challenge readers to think outside the box and question conventional wisdom. They argue that by applying economic principles to everyday life, we can uncover surprising insights and hidden truths about the world we live in. In the spirit of their work, let's take a closer look at a fascinating phenomenon that has been gaining traction in recent years: the No Buy Year. What is a No Buy Year, you ask?

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 ...
