Happy New Year and New MC2 Tomorrow - Normal Distributions and Probability

[MercerCounty MathCircle]

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a great holiday and hope you all have a very prime 2017! Our first session of this new year will be tomorrow Saturday, January 14, again in the Princeton Public Library. It will start at 2 PM for the advanced series. We will be talking about the normal distribution, which is found widespread throughout many fields: from statistics and finance, to science and biology.

As always, information can be found below or on our website here.

Best,

Roy Zhao

Advanced Series

Title: The Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem

Speaker: Chris Zhang

Time & Date: 2pm-3pm Saturday January 14

Location: Princeton Public Library, teen room (3rd floor)

Abstract: The Gaussian or normal distribution is one of the most important models in statistics and is widespread in many fields of science, engineering, social science, and math. First we try to understand probability and prove the Law of Large Numbers. Then we will learn why the normal distribution is so prevalent through the Central Limit Theorem.

Chili Peppers: 3 out of 4.

Leader: Harini Subrahmanyam Fredrickson

Time & Date: 3:14 PM - 4 PM Saturday January 14

Location: Princeton Public Library, teen room (3rd floor)

Abstract: We will be playing a game to learn more about normal distributions.
