2. Experimental mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_mathematics

   Experimental mathematics is an approach to mathematics in which computation is used to investigate mathematical objects and identify properties and patterns. [1] It has been defined as "that branch of mathematics that concerns itself ultimately with the codification and transmission of insights within the mathematical community through the use ...

3. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

   The design of experiments (DOE or DOX), also known as experiment design or experimental design, is the design of any task that aims to describe and explain the variation of information under conditions that are hypothesized to reflect the variation. The term is generally associated with experiments in which the design introduces conditions that ...

4. Abecedarian Early Intervention Project - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abecedarian_Early...

   The Carolina Abecedarian Project was a controlled experiment that was conducted in 1972 in North Carolina, United States, by the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute to study the potential benefits of early childhood education for poor children to enhance school readiness. It has been found that in their earliest school years, poor ...

5. Science project - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

   A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types. Science projects are done by students ...

6. Buffon's needle problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

   Buffon's needle was the earliest problem in geometric probability to be solved; [2] it can be solved using integral geometry. The solution for the sought probability p, in the case where the needle length l is not greater than the width t of the strips, is. This can be used to design a Monte Carlo method for approximating the number π ...

7. Mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

   Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study ...

8. Thought experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment

   Thought experiments have been used in philosophy (especially ethics), physics, and other fields (such as cognitive psychology, history, political science, economics, social psychology, law, organizational studies, marketing, and epidemiology). In law, the synonym "hypothetical" is frequently used for such experiments.

9. Event (probability theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(probability_theory)

   v. t. e. In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned. [1] A single outcome may be an element of many different events, [2] and different events in an experiment are usually not equally likely, since they may include very different groups of outcomes. [3 ...
