The Galton Board is now available for purchase! Grab one while they last! A light and compact device standing at 7.5 by 4.5, the Galton Board is a STEM approved product that illustrates dozens of mathematical concepts right from the comfort of your own desk. Witness order reveal itself in chaos as, when tilted on its axis, 3,000 steel beads flow through the board and ricochet off twelve rows of pegs with equal probability of moving left or right with each peg strike.... Superimposed on the Galton Board is Pascal’s Triangle, a centuries' old mathematical construct filled with wondrous algebraic and geometric properties that give rise to probability theory. See GaltonBoard.com to learn more!

In a world of almost utter chaos there is in fact order.

An incredible occurrence using the Day-Month-Year date format (numbers read as 12 February 2021)! A different date format is used in the United States which goes Month-Day-Year. By both date formats, the last palindrome day occurred in February 2nd, 2020 (02022020). This was the first and last palindrome day for the entire century! Before 02/02/2020, the previous palindrome day occurred in 11/11/1111. What a cool and unlikely event! #galtonboard #pascal #pascalstriangle #fibonacci #fibonaccisequence #algebra #binomialtheorem #mathinmotion #mathinaction #math #statistics #probability #physics #gaussiancurve #bellcurve #normaldistribution #stemeducation

The greatest barrier to public recognition of human-made climate change is probably the natural variability of local climate. How can a person discern long-term climate change, given the notorious variability of local weather and climate from day to day and year to year? Highly recommend this read as it exemplifies the simple yet powerful significance of the normal distribution in statistical analysis.
