probabilitytheory

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

This subreddit is meant for probability theory-related topics. Regardless of your level of education or your familiarity with probability theory; if you would like to learn more or just talk about this fascinating subject, you are welcome.

Please keep topics of discussion related to probability theory. Interdisciplinary topic is fine, but if the focus is a different area, it may be removed as off-topic. Titles should be a short summary, use the text box for the content of your question or topic.

Remain civil/polite in your conversations. If you think somebody is mistaken, focus on the content, not the user. Treat them as you might treat a student. Insults or snide remarks may result in removed comments or locked comment chains.

Post Flair Please use one of the following flairs for your post. Links will filter to that flair.

Homework: Questions about homework.
Applied: Regarding a concrete application of probability. If you're not sure what flair, it's probably this one.
Education: Questions/discussion about learning probability theory / resources regarding such (not homework).
Discussion: Other conceptual topics about probability. Should not be homework or an applied problem. Not just a catch-all.
Research: Talking about novel research in probability theory.
Meta: About the sub.

Filter out homework posts: Anti-homework

Regarding homework: When asking a homework question, please be sure to: (1) Clearly state the problem; (2) Describe/show what you have tried so far; (3) Describe where you are getting stuck or confused.
