In the past 10 years or so, there has been a growing interest in applying math and statistics to our everyday work and lives. Why is that? Does it have to do with the accelerated interest in “data science,” which Harvard Business Review called “the Sexiest Job of the 21st Century”? Or is it the promise of machine learning and “artificial intelligence” changing our lives? Is it because news headlines are inundated with studies, polls, and research findings but unsure how to scrutinize such claims? Or is it the promise of “self-driving” cars and robots automating jobs in the near future?
