Mathematics is not about following rules, it's about playing—and exploring, fighting, looking for clues, and sometimes even breaking things, according to Dan Finkel. In this playful, inspiring talk, the founder of Math for Love offers teachers and parents alike a five-step guide to sharing the beauty and playfulness of mathematical thinking with children.

What if we looked at Parkinson's as an neurological electrical problem? Brain researcher Eleftheria Pissadaki and her team study dopamine neurons, the neurons that selectively die during Parkinson's. They discovered that the bigger a neuron is, the more vulnerable it becomes because it simply requires more energy. This new insight is reframing the disease -- and by "finding the fuse box for each neuron" and figuring out how much energy it needs, may help us neuroprotect our brain cells.

How do we make sense of a world that doesn't? By looking in unexpected places, says mathematician Eugenia Cheng. She explains how applying concepts from abstract mathematics to daily life can lead us to a deeper understanding of things like the root of anger and the function of privilege. Learn more about how this surprising tool can help us to empathize with each other.

In this video we look at how to use statistical tables to calculate probabilities in a Binomial distribution. This includes an example of using the table for the probability density function to determine the probability the random variable takes a particular value and an example of using the table for the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability the random variable is less than or equal to a certain value and an example determining the probability it is greater than or equal to a certain value.

In this video we look at how to use statistical tables to calculate probabilities in a Poisson distribution. This includes an example of using the table for the probability density function to determine the probability the random variable is equal to particular value in a case where the average number of events per interval needs to be adjusted to match the units specified in the question and an example of using the table for the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability the random variable takes a value between two specified numbers.

In 44 episodes, Adriene Hill teaches you Statistics! This course is based on the 2018 AP Statistics curriculum and introduces everything from basic descriptive statistics to data collection to hot topics in data analysis like Big Data and neural networks. By the end of the course, you will be able to: *Identify questions that can be answered using statistics *Describe patterns, trends, associations, and relationships in data both numerically and graphically *Justify a conclusion using evidence from data, definitions, or statistical inference *Apply statistical models to make inferences and predictions from data sets *Understand how statistics are used broadly in the world and interpret their meaning, like in newspapers or scientific studies Learning playlist

What's so special about Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man? With arms outstretched, the man fills the irreconcilable spaces of a circle and a square -- symbolizing the Renaissance-era belief in the mutable nature of humankind. James Earle explains the geometric, religious and philosophical significance of this deceptively simple drawing.

This video presents an overview of the Fourier Transform, which is one of the most important transformations in all of mathematical physics and engineering. This series will introduce the analytic theory of the Fourier Transform, along with the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm for efficient computations. We will explore lots of applications in image compression, audio analysis, and solving partial differential equations.

During the Cold War, Soviet educators were tasked with raising citizens who could out-innovate and out-build their American counterparts. One of their primary tools for doing so? Math. Educator Masha Gershman describes how the adaptive, highly social Soviet approach to teaching math can be deployed to prep new generations for an ever-shifting future.
