For the 7th episode of "The Laws of Stan," I am delighted to present to you a chapter on "Mathematics in the Venture Capital industry." As you probably guessed, this episode holds special significance as we shift our focus away from the specific mathematical algorithms involved in the industry (for this episode only). Instead, we place more emphasis on understanding how the most crucial machine, the human brain, makes decisions amidst uncertainty. 🧐 Although mathematics is not a cornerstone o...

For the sixth episode of "The Laws of Stan," I had the pleasure of discussing the intriguing topic of Mathematics in the Fintech Industry with Dr. Luba Schoenig, CEO, and Co-Founder of Umushroom, a Gen Z interactive investment selection platform. Throughout this episode, you will gain insight into how cutting-edge technological financial services are developed. 💸 Thanks to her previous background in sales of structured products at Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse, and Julius Baer, I was able ...

As promised last week, the full episode on mathematics in the Research in Machine Learning industry is out on all platforms ! 🚀 As mentioned in the trailer for this exceptional episode, I had the privilege of hosting a Machine Learning Engineer in the previous episode to discuss the applications of mathematics in algorithms and the Machine Learning industry ⚙️ Given the far-reaching impact of this field, I was compelled to explore its depths and create another episode that delves into Mac...

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 major...

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 wor...

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 th...
