You thought I was going to talk about a problem that math teachers could use, didn't you? Well, maybe math teachers can use this. (note: when I say "teachers" I really mean "learning facilitators") It ...

You don’t need to be a baseball fan to know that the distance from third base to first base is a lot less than three miles. Yet that’s what several students came up with (16,200 feet to be exact) in a ...

The purpose of the paper is to derive sequential estimation procedures for multidimensional processes with independent increments. In analogy to the case of one-dimensional processes the exponential ...

Three school math problems have thousands of people on Facebook and Reddit talking. The reason? Even though the students' answers appear to be totally correct, they were still marked wrong. Here's one ...

The estimation is considered of a certain function of the second-order spectral moments of a Gaussian process whose `time' parameter lies in the plane. Two types of estimate are considered, both based ...

One of the most important tools in critical thinking about numbers is to grant yourself permission to generate wrong answers to mathematical problems you encounter. Deliberately wrong answers!
