Three worlds, three mysteries
The three worlds – the Platonic mathematical, the physical and the mental all interacting with three great mysteries yielding one very interesting paradox.
The Black-Scholes Equation
A brief introduction into the world of financial mathematics, with an explanation of what the Black-Scholes equation is and why it has quickly become so important.
Who should share information?
A brief attempt to understand the phenomena of fake news, in a world where information can be accessed and cross checked in seconds. An entirely opinion based discursive post.
The power of Bayes
An introduction to Bayes theorem, a powerful way of thinking that can influence the way you see the world and allow you to reveal the truth. A very limited use of percentages and probabilities are used to illustrate the ideas.
How long is a piece of string?
A brief introduction to the biggest contender for a unified theory – a 2000 word introduction to string theory requiring no mathematics.
Quantum Computing
A brief introduction to the weird world of quantum computing. Learn how a small number of quibits can quickly transform into something wonderfully complex.
The rise of the neutrino
A brief introduction to the increasingly important world of neutrino physics. The little stuff is shy, mysterious but fundamentally the material from which reality is constructed. Shall we?
It’s in the information
How deep does the rabbit hole go? Explore the basic theoretical underpinnings for information theory and how this leads to some challenging theories of reality.
The Mandelbrot Set
Today I intend to present an elegant piece of mathematics which through it’s simplicity can give insight into seemingly disordered systems, along with producing imagery that looks more like a magic eye than mathematics.
