A few days ago, I shared my perspective on the current polarization in our society. I discussed how algorithms influence people's mindsets by providing increasingly tailored content that individuals are more likely to enjoy. These mathematical algorithms are based on a concept known as collaborative filtering.

This is why, for the fourth episode of "The Laws of Stan," I decided to host Iaroslav Geraskin, a Machine Learning Engineer at TikTok. In this episode, you will discover how the majority of algorithms are created and modeled using mathematical skills.

As always, if you feel this interview may not be suitable for you, don't worry. We're taking a step-by-step approach, shedding light on the mathematical aspects involved in the profession of a machine learning engineer at a top-tier company like TikTok, without delving into complex computations.

After the success of the first two episodes of "The Laws of Stan" on mathematics in blockchain and mathematics in finance, I'm delighted to present the third episode of my podcast, which explores the various applications of mathematics across diverse industries.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Stephen Gallagher, a Data Scientist at Raiola (a world-famous football agency). I want to express my gratitude to Stephen for this amazing interview, which sheds light on the abstract world of mathematics in football.

Once again, if mathematics scares you, there's no need to worry. We'll break it down step by step!

After the successful launch of the first episode of "The Laws of Stan," which garnered downloads from 21 different countries, I'm thrilled to present the second episode of my bi-monthly show.

In this episode, I delve into the diverse applications of mathematics within the Blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. And what better way to explore this topic than by featuring Karolina Gorna, a software security engineer at the market-leading company "Ledger."

Many of you are already aware that the blockchain world heavily relies on mathematics and numerical principles. However, in this second episode of "The Laws of Stan," we will uncover the specific mathematical facets that underpin this dynamic industry. 

Once again, if mathematics scares you… don’t worry, we will take it step by step !

In the first episode of "The Laws of Stan," we are discussing the application of mathematics in the financial industry. 

We will attempt to grasp the fundamental mathematical principles underlying it and endeavor to simplify them as much as possible. There's no better way to delve into mathematical finance than by hosting a Quantitative Analyst from one of the world's most renowned banks. 

My guest today is Luca Amroz, an Assistant Vice-President in Quantitative Analysis at Bank of America, holding a PhD in Elementary Particle Physics and having previously worked as a research scientist at CERN. 

We will delve into the mathematical aspects of a quant in a top-tier bank and explore the path required to pursue this career while simplifying complex quantitative concepts.
