Kalyanapuram Rangachari Parthasarathy, known to generations of mathematicians and probabilists simply as KRP, passed away on June 14 in New Delhi; he was 86. Professor Parthasarathy made numerous extremely deep contributions over a stunningly wide spectrum of mathematics: probability, quantum probability, graph theory, linear algebra, statistics and other mathematical domains.…
Student Puzzle Editor Anirban DasGupta poses another two problems, and says, “Our statistics problem this time is on universally consistent estimation of the regression coefficients for not necessarily Gaussian errors, and the probability problem is on probabilistic graph theory. The statistics problem is a practically important problem that will make …
Columnist Clara Grazian introduces our new advice column for early-career researchers:
Question 1: I am interested in pursuing an internship in a company, but my advisor thinks that this will slow down my dissertation progress. How should I proceed?
Clara responds: Ha, this is a great question! I believe there…
Andrej Srakar, University of Ljubljana, is the coordinator and Co-Editor of the YoungStatS project. He writes about random matrices in probability and mathematical physics:
We start our YoungStatS short contributions for the IMS Bulletin with a topic from probability theory, namely random matrix theory (RMT). In today’s mathematics,…
