Understand the Math
That Shapes Our World
Learn about the math used in corporate and financial decisioning making that impacts our lives. This is not financial advice—it's essential mathematical literacy for a competitive world.
Understand the Numbers. See the Full Picture.
Why do you and your neighbor get different offers for the same service? How do companies set prices for everything from plane tickets to insurance policies? The answer isn't chance—it's math.
In a competitive world, businesses use sophisticated data models to profile and predict behavior. My mission is to pull back the curtain and teach you the mathematics *behind* these decisions. By understanding the "how," you can become a more informed and empowered consumer.
The Math of "Us vs. Them": Statistical Profiling
How do companies group you? We'll explore **clustering algorithms** and **regression analysis** that sort people into "high-risk" or "high-profit" buckets based on data you can't control, like your zip code or age.
Predictive Pricing & Risk Modeling
Learn how **probability** and **actuarial math** are used to set your rates. We'll break down how a "risk score" is calculated and why two people can get wildly different offers for the exact same product.
Algorithmic Bias & The Data Divide
What happens when the data itself is unfair? Learn how historical biases in data can create algorithms that **perpetuate** and even **amplify** exploitation, even if the math itself is technically "neutral."
