Things Behind Bayes’ Theorem A Review Of Sharon Bertsch Mcgrayne’S The Theory That Would Not Die: How Bayes' Theorem Allowed To Decipher The Enigma Code, To Pursue The Russian Submarines And To Emerge Triumphant From Two Centuries Of Controversy From A Statistics Education Perspective, Ernesto Sanchez, Nathalia Morgado, Eleazar Silvestre Apr 2023

Things Behind Bayes’ Theorem A Review Of Sharon Bertsch Mcgrayne’S The Theory That Would Not Die: How Bayes' Theorem Allowed To Decipher The Enigma Code, To Pursue The Russian Submarines And To Emerge Triumphant From Two Centuries Of Controversy From A Statistics Education Perspective, Ernesto Sanchez, Nathalia Morgado, Eleazar Silvestre

The Mathematics Enthusiast

A feeling emerges from reading McGrayne’s book expressed as a paraphrase of a verse from Hamlet: There are more things behind Bayes’ theorem, Horatio, than dreamt of in your philosophy. The book tells a story of the birth and survival of an idea around which social enterprises, personal odysseys, and human passions are masterfully woven by the author. The book has 17 chapters distributed in five parts and two annexes. These parts reveal a narrative structure worthy of Propp: The hero of the story (Bayes’ theorem) is born and raised normally but rejected later. It is forced to act …


Encounters With “Love And Math” A Belated Review Of Edward Frenkel’S Love And Math: The Heart Of Hidden Reality, Rina Zazkis Apr 2023

Encounters With “Love And Math” A Belated Review Of Edward Frenkel’S Love And Math: The Heart Of Hidden Reality, Rina Zazkis

The Mathematics Enthusiast

In “Love and Math” the author intertwines his personal experiences as a student of mathematics and as a research mathematician with an exposition of modern mathematics, focusing on its elegance and beauty. Much is said in previous reviews (e.g., Grosholz, 2015) of this New York Times bestseller and winner of the Euler Book Prize from the Mathematical Association of America. All praise the author for his fascinating narratives in which he reveals the joy of intellectual discovery and provides a passionate account of exciting ideas of modern mathematics. There is no need in repetition, so this review is rather personal. …


Numerate Life For Whom? A Non-Book-Review Of John Allen Paulos’S A Numerate Life: A Mathematician Explores The Vagaries Of Life, His Own And Probably Yours, Ofer Marmur Apr 2023

Numerate Life For Whom? A Non-Book-Review Of John Allen Paulos’S A Numerate Life: A Mathematician Explores The Vagaries Of Life, His Own And Probably Yours, Ofer Marmur

The Mathematics Enthusiast

A common, widespread view on the field of mathematics entails that “mathematics is dry as dust [and] as exciting as a telephone book” (Davis & Hersh, 1981, p. 169), and that the professional mathematician is merely “a kind of calculator” (Krull, 1987, p. 48). Even more provocatively, mathematics is conceived by many of the general public as a “deadend” discipline in which all questions have already been answered, where nothing worthwhile is left for further investigation (Movshovitz-Hadar, 2008). However, mathematics is an active, growing, open-ended field – a fact which can be illustrated, amongst others, by the exponential growth in …

An Acoustic Analysis Of French Vowel Phoneme Substitutions In Native English Speakers, Madeline G. Strah Feb 2023

An Acoustic Analysis Of French Vowel Phoneme Substitutions In Native English Speakers, Madeline G. Strah

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Learning a second language is very difficult and may require years of practice to reach fluency. However, theories like the Speech Learning Model (SLM), tell us that regardless of years of practice, perfect pronunciation of sounds that are absent in a speaker’s first language is difficult, especially if the sound is relatively similar to one in the speaker’s first language. For instance, the French vowel sound /y/, in the word sucre ‘sugar’, is absent in American English, and is very similar to the sound /u/, like in the word soupe ‘soup’. These form a minimal pair where the sounds …


Aspectual Markers In African American English(Es), Kevin Vrla Feb 2023

Aspectual Markers In African American English(Es), Kevin Vrla

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

African American English (Or AAE, a variant of Standard American English(SAE)) has several features that allow for a diverse array of temporal information to be encoded not found in SAE. Here I touch on two such methods, both regarding past events: Been and Done. Both been and done are employed by speakers to provide additional context and I posit that they appear in various constructions providing specific pragmatic information. My analysis has been grounded in previous investigations and supported by data collected colloquially.

Been is the word commonly used to indicate distant past events. When used in a verb …
