Many noisy processes are described by Gaussian probability distributions. Let's take a look at the mathematics of that.

Hillel Furstenberg, 84, and Gregory Margulis, 74, both retired professors, share the mathematics equivalent of a Nobel Prize.

Mathematics professor Gregory Lawler was named a co-winner of the $100,000 Wolf Prize. The award recognizes Lawler’s research in probability theory involving random walks and Brownian motion, which ...

Recently, as we were studying probability in my Statistics class, a student asked me about the use of probability in math and economics. Actually “where will we ever use this?” might be a better way ...

Despite statistical methods that help sports fans improve their brackets, the probability of a perfect bracket remains something of a mystery in mathematics. Photo illustration by Smithsonian.com ...
