Read MoreMeasure Theory for Probability: A Very Brief Introduction
In this post we discuss an intuitive, high level view of measure theory and why it is important to the study of rigorous probability.
Read MoreThe Riemann Integral
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is a beautiful thing, but it fails to describe some very simple integrals. In this post we look at how the Riemann Integral can solve some of these problems.
Read MoreProgramming the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
In this post we build an intuition for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus by using computation rather than analytical models of the problem.
Read MoreHow Big is the Difference Between Being 90% and 99% Certain?
People often discuss the idea of being "90% certain" or "99% sure that this is true", but how big is the difference between these two values? It turns out that the difference between these values is similiar to the difference between having $10 and $100 in your wallet.
