Nice ‘Torque’ : An appointment in Nantes, Kiel and Baden
I think the phrase “Nice Torque” needs no further explanation for the E-Pico class of 23′. But for the uninitiated it is an inside joke that somehow became the embodiment of our Master’s program- the program which has dominated my life for the past two years and has altered my Life’s trajectory in ways that…

Creating a WORDLE solver in C++
Wordle is a new exciting and interesting game that was recently developed by some dude (don’t know his name- Alfred Butts created scrabble and nobody cares). Getting back into hammering some C++ in graduate school, I decided to piece together some primitive solver for the Game. Nothing too advanced involving optimization theory or fancy math-…

Non-trivial extension of the binary case in Hypothesis testing
On the topic of probability, just like most amateurs (myself included), we are mainly concerned with posterior distribution, given prior information. For example, given an urn with 2 blue balls, and 99 black balls, what is the probability of selecting a pink ball? (LOL). But a good deal of real life problems transcend such simple…

Prior Belief, Probability, and a simple simulation
Somehow I can’t resist interesting problems. So here’s another one that led me down a simulation rabbit hole. Given an urn (yeah right! always urns) with balls of several colours such that . Now, Imagine that 20 balls are picked at random, and we discover that all 20 balls are comprised only of three colors.…

Interesting Bernoulli Urn Probability Problem [E.T Jaynes]
Still on the topic of probability, I came across yet another interesting problem in the E.T Jaynes book and it goes as follows Suppose an urn contains balls of color , of color of color . We draw balls without replacement; what is the probability that we have at least one of each color For…

Interesting Problems in Probability [from E.T Jaynes]
I decided to pick off where I left off as regards the study of probability and I returned to the trusty E.T Jaynes’ “Probability Theory- The Logic of Science”. I’d like to solve two interesting problems I encountered in the second chapter (Which for some reason I couldn’t solve before, but can do now). The…
