This is How Easy it is to Lie with Statistics
Statiscs don't tell a story on their own. They need to be interpreted. And that interpretation can go badly awry.
May 10, 2019
Bayes Theorem and some of the mysteries it has solved
Several cases where Baysian probabilities were instrumental in locating lost ships and planes in the ocean.

The things you'll find in higher dimensions
What better way to expand your mind than into more dimensions. Here's are some simply things we do every day that are a little different in four or more (or many more) dimensions.

The Poisoned Drinks Problem
Feb 20, 2020
Curves We (Mostly) Don't Learn in High School (and Applications)

Simple, yet counterintuitive mathematics: Why numbers don't always mean what you think
Beware. It's not just statistics that lie. So do percentages and numbers in general when you misinterpret them. Zach provides a few examples where the numbers we usually use in certain situations don't provide an accurate picture of what's going on.

Parity Puzzles
Zach shares some puzzles that have odd or even solutions but not both. They are parity puzzles. Recognizing a puzzle as a parity puzzle makes the existence of a solution more obvious.

These changed how I think about higher dimensions
Mathematicians developed the field of topology to explore the manipulation of objects in space. Zach find it helpful for visualizing higher level dimensions and the shapes of alternative universes. Even the mathematical operations help in visualization.
Jul 12, 2020
We likely live in one of these 18 universes
Mathematics offers a multitude of different geometries our universe might have. Astronomers think we live in a universe with Euceidean rather than spherical or hyperbolic geometry. But that still leaves 18 Euclidean universes to choose from.
Jul 24, 2020
What would we see if we lived on a hypersphere?
The shape of our universe is still an open question. But what does this mean? Zach takes a look at what our universe would be like if our three dimensional universe was the surface of a four dimensional hypersphere. But he shrinks the universe to approximately the size of the earth so the effects are more obvious.

Why imaginary numbers are needed to understand the radius of convergence
Jun 09, 2021
A surprising topological proof - Why you can always cut three objects in half with a single plane
A mathematical proof explained graphically using Borsuk-Ulam-theorem.

The Mathematics of the Casino | What people get wrong about gambling
Your odds of reaching your winnings goal in a fair game, versus the house's edge, are dependent on how much you have to risk and the size of your bets. Fewer bigger bets give you better odds than lots of little bets.

The Poker Paradox
Adding a joker to a poker game does something weird to the probabilities of winning hands and hence their rankings.
Jul 27, 2023
The Scariest Thing You Learn in Electrical Engineering | The Smith Chart
Zack explains the initially intimidating but oddly artistic Smith chart that is used to determine the degree of signal reflection between loads of different impedance.
Jul 30, 2024
Probability is just...really weird
The Monte Hall paradox wasn't controversial enough for Zach. But not to worry. He has a selection puzzle that it too confusing even for social media because even it you guess right it's probably for the wrong reason.
