We meet mathematical codes at every part of our everyday lives - in our mobile phones, on the sides of books, on our credit cards, in barcodes - but what is the maths that underlies all of these? In this extract from his lecture on...

Today we're going to finish up our discussion of Bayesian inference by showing you how we can it be used for continuous data sets and be applied both in science and everyday life. From A/B testing of websites and getting a better...

Are your elementary students ever curious about how an architect uses math? This educational kids math video shows upper elementary math students how math is used in architecture and how it is linked to what they are learning in math...

This video provides an introduction to Newton's three laws of motion, explaining how they help us understand the movement of objects in our everyday lives. It discusses the first law of inertia, which states that an object remains still...

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which a given number is the addition of the two numbers before it. So, if you start with 0, the next number will be 1, followed by 1, followed by 2, followed by 3 and so on. As you can...

This video teaches the mathematical principle of fractions in an easy to understand way for children and kids to learn. This video uses visual representations to point out common fractions that we see in...

This video explores the concept of patterns through the lens of a morning routine. As Amara and Zuri learn about patterns in everyday life, they also discover the importance of following a consistent sequence of actions in their morning...

This video provides an introduction to the concept of functions in mathematics. The lecturer compares functions to machines that take an input, apply a specific rule or operation, and give an output. The video also provides examples of...

In this video, students will learn about fractions and how to divide things into equal parts. They will learn how to write fractions using numbers and how to compare fractions to see which are larger or smaller. The video also emphasizes...

In this video, Caroline from Doodles and Digits explains what mixed numbers are and how they are used in everyday life. Mixed numbers are a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction, and can be found in measurements, cooking,...

Today we're going to discuss the Binomial Distribution and a special case of this distribution known as a Bernoulli Distribution. The formulas that define these distributions provide us with shortcuts for calculating the probabilities of...

The convergence of AI and robotics will unlock a wonderful new world of possibilities in everyday life, says robotics and AI pioneer Daniela Rus. Diving into the way machines think, she reveals how "liquid networks" — a revolutionary...
