New research found that infants have better math skills than previously suspected. From the age of six months, babies can calculate probability and estimate risk. Research from the Max Planck ...

One important feature of the brain is its ability to make generalizations based on sparse data. By learning regularities in our environment it can manage to guide our actions. As adults, we have ...

When mathematics lecturer Gene Kim turned a $15 daily fantasy sports (DFS) lineup into a $50,000 win in April, it would not be his last victory of the year — Kim launched a new introductory seminar ...

It is shown that the method of Heuch and Li for recursive calculation of conditional genotype probabilities in pedigrees also applies to joint phenotype probability calculations. This procedure was ...

Our whole life we have to make decisions and weigh up probabilities of different events. By learning to estimate which event is more likely to happen, we become better at analysing risks and benefits ...
