Show learners how to plot data to determine correlation. A data analysis video gives examples of positive, negative, and no correlation between variables. The final example plots real-life data, provides a line of best fit, and...

Can you predict what will happen more than 850 years in the future, down to the exact date? Scientists and mathematicians know exactly when specific asteroids will pass near us or possibly hit us. The video explains how they track the...

Have you ever wondered why the atomic mass listed on the periodic table isn't a whole number? This video explains how weighted averages are calculated and relates the average to the relative atomic mass. Viewers are then given an element...

"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics." - Richard Feynman. The video describes how our current model of physics predicts glueballs, groups of gluons attached to each other. Gluons have no...

Use math to help predict the future. Viewers of the 36th Crash Course video covering statistics hear about machine learning. They see how logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, and K nearest neighbors are all models that help...
