Wizards of Odds: The Power of Probability
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 3 Νοε 2015
Probability
is the backbone of science, but how well do you understand it? Odds
are, not as well as you think; it is a surprisingly subtle concept that
is often misunderstood, sometimes even by professionals who use it to
guide crucial and far-reaching decisions. In this program, experts from
technology, physics, medicine, and programming explore the slippery side
of probability and the powerful role it plays in modern life.
PARTICIPANTS: Robert C. Green, Leonard Mlodinow, Masoud Mohseni, Alan Peters
Original Program Date:May 30, 2015
