Bayesian Statistics with Hannah Fry

Including signed copies on Maths Gear!

My book Humble Pi is available signed on Maths Gear, as well as un-signed from all the usuals.

The history of Thomas Bayes.

All about the theorem named after them.

Huge thanks to the current residents of the house who tolerated us running around and invading their weekend. All in exchange for two awesome maths books.

Thanks to Ben Sparks for crafting the Geogebra animation of the surface.

MATT PARKER: Stand-up Mathematician

"Everytime you're throwing the ball you're getting more information about... " where the table isn't

[framegrace]

- "What's the chance you find me here?"
- "It's the first time I've found you here, so I don't know"
I'll use that joke, with your permission...

“How good are you at catch” “I understand the theory” 😂😂😂

Hannah is getting plenty of practice as to being a mum of a toddler here.

Can I just have Hannah and Matt explain everything to me? The sheer enthusiasm for math on display is infectious.

"Embrace uncertainty, but quantify it" is my new motto.

Schrödinger, Descartes and Bayes walk into a bar. The bartender asks: "Would you gentlemen like a drink?"
Schrödinger says: "Yes and no."
Descartes says: "I don't think so."
Bayes says: "I'm not certain."

Matt Parker: Making a pregnant woman repeatedly bend down and pick up his throws, while he is sitting in a comfy chair :P

"And thanks to the owners of the house! Turns out, one of them's a mathematician..."

This is the least surprising statement I think I've ever heard in my life.

[xela]

I've never seen Bayes' fundamental insight so amusingly explained. Nor so clearly. Nicely done! (Also: congratulations to Dr Fry on the forthcoming addition to your family!)

6:03 One mathematician tells another mathematician to be more random.
The irony here is delightful.

[NoNTrvaL]

"It's all about that Bayes" - Thomas Bayes probably.

Literally bought Hello World an hour before this video was released. Now I have 2 great maths books to get absorbed into. Maths books are like buses, you wait years for a good one and then 2 turn up almost at once!

[thontor]

This is the first i've seen or heard of Hannah Fry. I'm already a fan. She is awesome.

[mrswats]

Always love to see Hannah Fry! Loved this one as well.

4:10 Hannah's exasperated declaration of "Try" should cause you lot to call and thank your mothers.

[igorperfeitovivo]

They always have so much fun together, that it spreads and reaches us through.

[TacoDude]

I wish Hannah Fry had a YouTube channel

It is official YOU DO NEED TO DO MORE WITH BOTH OFF YOU. The interaction (and faces drown) between you guys is hilarius to watch, and we are learning at the same time. Great video.

Greetings from Belgium.
