Karl Stein was one of the pillars of the German school of several complex variables. In this article his scientific contributions are outlined in historical perspective.
We discuss the legacy of Alan Turing and his impact on computability and analysis.
The Ising model is one of the standard models in statistical physics. Since 1969 more than 12000 publications appeared using this model. In 1996 Ernst Ising celebrated his 96th birthday. Some biographical notes and milestones of the…
This a biographical essay about Edsger Wybe Dijkstra.
Data Science is a multidisciplinary field that plays a crucial role in extracting valuable insights and knowledge from large and intricate datasets. Within the realm of Data Science, two fundamental components are Information Theory (IT)…
This article contains the introduction to the special volume of Stochastics dedicated to Priscilla Greenwood, her CV and her list of publications.
The astronomical growth of data has necessitated the need for educating well-qualified data scientists to derive deep insights from large and complex data sets generated by organizations. In this paper, we present our interdisciplinary…
Decision-makers abhor uncertainty, and it is certainly true that the less there is of it the better. However, recognizing that uncertainty is part of the equation, particularly for deciding on environmental policy, is a prerequisite for…
This article aims to propose and elucidate the analytical concepts of "individual scientist" and "integrated scientist" to depict the fundamental transformation in the modes of scientific research actors throughout the history of science.…
The application of classical methods of statistical mechanics, originally developed by Ludwig Boltzmann in gas dynamics, to the description of social phenomena is a successful story that we try to outline in this paper. On one hand, it is…
In writing this biographical memoir of John Hammersley, we have tried to communicate something of the character of the person, and of the impact of his scientific achievements across lattice models (for example, percolation, self-avoiding…
Visual insights into a wide variety of statistical methods, for both didactic and data analytic purposes, can often be achieved through geometric diagrams and geometrically based statistical graphs. This paper extols and illustrates the…
The article is an historical overview of some of the major contributions from different areas of Science with which, for centuries, it has been built up a scientific, sound and consistent vision of the atom. Some experiments that led us to…
I give a highly selective overview of the way statistical mechanics explains the microscopic origins of the time asymmetric evolution of macroscopic systems towards equilibrium and of first order phase transitions in equilibrium. These…
Recognition of individual contributions is fundamental to the scientific reward system, yet coauthored papers obscure who did what. Traditional proxies-author order and career stage-reinforce biases, while contribution statements remain…
In the past two decades, teaching and outreach have come to hold an expected place in more missions of mathematics departments and organizations. Still, there is more to do as a mathematical sciences community for mathematics education and…
Causality and causal inference have emerged as core research areas at the interface of modern statistics and domains including biomedical sciences, social sciences, computer science, and beyond. The field's inherently interdisciplinary…
There is widespread emphasis on reform in the teaching of introductory statistics at the college level. Underpinning this reform is a consensus among educators and practitioners that traditional curricular materials and pedagogical…
The application of Data Science and Analytics to optimize or predict outcomes is Ubiquitous in the Modern World. Data Science and Analytics have optimized almost every domain that exists in the market. In our survey, we focus on how the…
Software design impacts much of statistical analysis and, as technology changes, dramatically so in recent years, it is exciting to learn how statistical software is adapting and changing. This leads to the collection of papers published…
