I studied math in college, and I can say, without a doubt, that probability is the most counterintuitive branch of math I have personally experienced, and maybe the most counterintuitive in general. It is no surprise that the average person doesn't understand it at all.

This is one of the cleanest explanations of Bayes rule I have ever seen.

My secret is that I've never understood the difference between being a Frequentist and being a Bayesian. When I read a description of what *either* group believes, I just think "yeah, that sounds reasonable".

Conditional probability is both the hardest and the most important concept in probability

Very cool. Examples related to information theory and communications are also very clear.

My favorite application of Bayes is running the inference engine in reverse. That is, fitting a model and using it to simulate new data.

I wanted to bring up this video again that I would love your perspective on. Numberphile did a cool video about 1 + 2 + 3 + ... = -1/12 that makes it seem like it has practical applications, and isn't just a mathematical curiosity. Some of their steps are pretty dubious in my opinion, namely the part where they introduce a cos(n/N) just after the 10 minute mark, so you may be able to shed some light on it. The video is called "Does -1/12 Protect Us From Infinity? - Numberphile"

Why do you think it's dubious the way they added the partial sums? All they did is multiply each term by something that is equal to 1 as N goes to infinity (notice that cos(n/N) is 1, since n is constant and N goes to infinity and cos(0)=1), so there's nothing weird or wrong about that. If you could elaborate on your doubt I may be able to explain it better
