Ratios & ProportionsRunning pace: from your 5K to a marathon time
Pace is a ratio. Predicting a longer race takes an exponent, because you slow down.
StatisticsThe bell curve: what percentile is that?
Count standard deviations from the average (the z-score), and the bell curve tells you what share falls below.
Exponents & LogarithmsCooling coffee: when is it drinkable?
Hot things cool fast, then slower and slower. Exponential decay predicts the sip.
Exponents & LogarithmsDecibels: why two speakers aren’t twice as loud
Sound is measured on a log scale. Double the speakers: +3 dB. Double the distance: −6 dB.
Differential Equations & TransformsWhen will my coffee wear off?
Each cup rises, then fades by half every few hours. Cups stack, and the Laplace transform says why they simply add.
MatricesHitting your macros: how much of three foods?
Protein, carbs, and fat are three equations, and three foods are three unknowns. A matrix solves all of them at once.
ProbabilityA 99% accurate test, and a positive is probably wrong
When something is rare, the few real cases are outnumbered by false alarms. Bayes’ rule counts both.
