Potpourri, Such As It Is...



Well, I've been too distracted by the ongoing unraveling of democracy this week 8-((( to curate much, so this is all I got for ya (sorry, I'll try to do a little better next week, BELIEVE ME):

1)  Deborah Mayo reviews some of the factors affecting the recent Presidential pre-election polling:

2) And another statistician Allen Downey did some post-analysis here:

3)  Mike Lawler is starting a "Weapons of Math Destruction" (Cathy O'Neil's book) study group on Facebook:
4)  Michael Lewis on Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky (from his newest book):

5)  Interesting puzzle from Numberphile:

[also, hope everyone has seen my favorite piece of the week, from James Propp, cited yesterday over at Math-Frolic.]
