Math tests and rice paddies
Why do Asians perform so well at math? Why are some people much more successful than others?
Maximum value of a Poisson Distribution
Can we find the maximum value of the Poisson Distribution using differentiation?
Friday math movie - Photosynth
Here's a great way to present photos. Blaise Aguera y Arcas shows us Photosynth. From TED.
Factorials and the Gamma function
Factorials are very useful in the field of probability. Can we find factorials of non-integers?
Tanzalin Method for easier Integration by Parts
Getting lost doing Integration by parts? Tanzalin Method is easier to follow, but doesn't work for all functions.
