Um, let me help you.
Every single lecture is carefully planned, advertised ahead of time, and delivered according to the schedule. Which is the opposite of 'random'.
You are welcome. 😊

A square wave can be expressed as the infinite sum of odd sine waves with ever-decreasing amplitudes and periods. This is an example of a Fourier transform, a powerful tool in maths & physics that can be used for encoding/decoding information stored in waves. 1/2

"20 years ago, I used to find the anthropic interpretation of the universe upsetting, in part bc of the difficulty it might present in understanding physics. Over the years I have mellowed. I suppose I reluctantly came to accept the universe was not created for our convenience in understanding it."

A bit of a specialised paper title, but definitely a very accessible abstract.

I have seen on my timeline posts about hypothesis-testing and Type-I/Type-II errors.
I would like to contribute a figure from my lecture notes to the public discussion.
