God Plays Dice: Thousandth, and last, post.
http://godplaysdice.blogspot.com/2012/02/thousandth-and-last-post.html
A random walk through mathematics - mostly through the random part. Thousandth, and last, post. This is the last post here at God Plays Dice. It happens to be the thousandth, but I didn't plan that. I'm moving to Wordpress, and to gottwurfelt.wordpress.com. The obvious subdomain was taken, by somebody that I don't want to send traffic to.). So update your bookmarks, your feed readers, or whatever you kids are using to follow blogs these days. I'll see you there. February 9, 2012 at 2:09 AM.

God Plays Dice: December 2011

A random walk through mathematics - mostly through the random part. Solution to distance between random points from a sphere. So I asked on Sunday. The following question: pick two points on a unit sphere uniformly at random. What is the expected distance between them? Without loss of generality we can fix one of the points to be (1, 0, 0). The other will be chosen uniformly at random and will be (X, Y, Z). The distance between the two points is therefore. 1, and this can be rewritten as. 6 = 8/6 = 4/3.

A random walk through mathematics - mostly through the random part. Some thoughts on the mathematics of tax withholding. Here's a question of some practical importance: let's say that I make $2,000 in each of the first six months of the year, and $4,000 in each of the second six months. Will I have more or less tax withheld than if I make $3,000 every month? So say that if you make 36 x. Per year, then your taxes will be f. Then you'd expect that if you make 3 x. In a given month, you will have f. More g...

God Plays Dice: Small sample sizes lead to high margins of error, unemployment version
http://godplaysdice.blogspot.com/2011/11/small-sample-sizes-lead-to-high-margins.html
A random walk through mathematics - mostly through the random part. Small sample sizes lead to high margins of error, unemployment version. The ten college majors with the lowest unemployment rates. From yahoo.com. I've heard about this from a friend who majored in astronomy and a friend who majored in geology; both of these are on the list, with an unemployment rate of zero. The unemployment rates of the ten majors they list are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, and 2.2 percent. Blog post is quite similar.

A random walk through mathematics - mostly through the random part. How long is the coast of Maryland? Last night's Final Jeopardy clue: "With 301 miles, it has the most coastline of current states that were part of the original 13 colonies." (Thanks to the Jeopardy! For the wording.). This agrees with the Wikipedia list. Which is sourced from official US government data. But as Mandelbrot told us. Coastlines are self-similar . (Link goes to the paper How Long is the Coast of Britain. Links to this post.
