Posted a blog entry on my current work, which is looking at how similar the stable distributions are to each other. The upshot is that translating a stable distribution along the axis has the minimal effect for α=1 (e.g.,the Cauchy distribution), and the maximal effect for very small α.

I've updated my dice problem collection with a new problem (#29 of the now 83 problems).

The question is: how many times, on average, do we need to roll a die, multiplying the results, until we reach a perfect square? So we might roll a 1 or 4 and be immediately square. Or we might roll […]

The Math That Explains Why Bell Curves Are Everywhere | Quanta Magazine The central limit theorem started as a bar trick for 18th-century gamblers. Now scientists rely on it every day.

Dice Probabilities with Multiple Rolls Have you ever wondered just how quickly the chances of success add up if you can make a check repeatedly without consequence? This post looks at d20 checks, including with advantage or disadvantage, and how this changes if there is a chance of instant failure.

Estimating Pi Using Buffon's Needle Probability Experiment March 14, known as Pi Day, celebrates the mathematical constant pi, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and appears in various scientific and artistic contexts. While humans have calculated pi to trillions of decimal places, practical applications, like NASA's spacecraft navigation, only require the first 15 digits. One intriguing way to estimate pi comes from an 18th-century probability experiment by George Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. The experiment involves dropping needles onto a floor marked with parallel lines and determining the probability that a needle crosses one of the lines. When the needle length equals the spacing between lines, the probability of crossing a line is 2 divided by pi. By dropping many needles and recording the fraction that crosses lines, one can approximate pi without complex calculus. This process is effectively a Monte Carlo simulation, a method developed in 1946 during the Manhattan Project, which uses random sampling to model complex phenomena. Simulations, whether with physical needles or computer-generated random numbers, provide a practical way to estimate pi and demonstrate fundamental principles of probability. Buffon's needle experiment is a historical and accessible illustration of randomness, geometry, and numerical estimation.
