Hello and welcome to "The Laws of Stan," a podcast dedicated to illuminating the numerous applications of mathematics in various industries.My name is Stanley Rappaport, and I'm the host of this show, which is centered around exploring the impact of mathematics on different industries without delving into complex computations. The goal is to demonstrate how mathematics serves as a universal language underlying problem analysis, definition, and resolution in diverse fields.In this podcast, I'll be interviewing incredible guests from a wide range of industries to discuss the specific aspects of mathematics used in their professions. The show is designed to be accessible to everyone, and we will simplify and explain all mathematical concepts.Enjoy your listening experience!Link to my Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanley-rappaport-51968a1a6?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3B5U%2FiFnQkSDSsHac7vb%2FLnQ%3D%3D
For the final episode of season 1 of The Laws of Stan, I would like to conclude my streak of 14 episodes with a loop. The first episode of my 14-episode challenge began with the applications of mathematics in Quantitative Finance, featuring Lucas Ambroz, a back-office quant trader from Bank of America. Later, I recorded a second episode on the same topic with a front-office quant from BNP Paribas.
As I approach the end of the first season of "The Laws of Stan," I took the liberty of recording an episode featuring not one, but two incredibly inspirational guests: Jason Plant and Nicole King, respectively CEO and Lead Engineer of Hydrophos Solution, a young company aiming to develop technologies for extracting phosphorus from wastewater and reselling it to the fertiliser industry.
For the third and final episode of this sub-series of The Laws of Stan, which delves into Artificial Intelligence, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tommaso Urli, Senior Optimisation Scientist at Satlia, a company that merges the precision of machine learning with the power of optimisation to forge decision-making systems that dramatically increase operational efficiency. ⚙️In this episode, Tommaso recounts his professional journey as a mathematician, detailing the challenges he encounters while streamlining logistics for diverse companies.
For the second episode of the mini-series of "The Laws of Stan" on the applications of mathematics in Artificial Intelligence, I interviewed Jonathan Yana, a very young and ambitious entrepreneur in the world of Generative AI.
After releasing 9 episodes focusing on the applications of mathematics across various industries, including Quantitative Finance, Blockchain, Poker, and Formula One, I have decided to launch a series of episodes focusing on the applications of mathematics in Artificial Intelligence
I am thrilled to announce the release of the ninth episode of 'The Laws of Stan,' « Mathematics in Poker » ♣️♦️♥️♠️In this episode, I interview Davidi Kitai, a Belgian professional poker player from Winamax, triple crown winner and the champion of the 2008 World Series of Poker, notably the first Belgian to win a WSOP Bracelet
Hello everyone, and welcome back to "The Laws of Stan". After a short break from releasing episodes, I am excited to bring you the 8th episode of our first season
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.
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.
As promised last week, the full episode on mathematics in the Research in Machine Learning industry is out on all platforms !
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.Enjoy your listening experience!
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!Enjoy this listening experience!
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 ! Enjoy this listening experience!
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.Enjoy your listening experience!
