understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
This is really 2 coincidences for the price of one.
Yesterday night I was watching a Beachboys biog,explaining the history of Brian Wilson and his band and the making of Pet Sounds,something i had seen before. Anyone who knows the Beachboys will be aware of the song 'Good Vibrations' which of course was featured that song.
Some days before I had noted that the BBC were running a programme called 'The Joy of data' - being into maths (which is why I post here) this of course interested me,but I didn't have time to watch it at that juncture and so saved the link for later viewing.
Following the Beachboys biog,which was late at night,the next day I found time to play back the BBC programme on data,only to find it opened with guess what? 'Good Vibrations'!
Today,I was discussing the controversial Brexit vote with a friend on Facebook,whilst 'Tower Heist was on the TV', and it was mentioned that it has been suggested that perhaps only income tax payers should get to vote. At the exact moment I wrote the words 'income tax' they were uttered in the movie!
