Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Jon Keating - From one extreme to another: the statistics of extreme events
Jon Keating will discuss the statistics of rare, extreme events in various contexts, including: evaluating performance at the Olympics; explaining how glasses freeze; illustrating why computers are more effective than expected at learning; and understanding the Riemann zeta-function, the mathematical object that encodes the mysterious distribution of the prime numbers.
Jon Keating is Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Oxford and a Fellow of The Queen’s College.
