RT @alexbilz: Leo Breiman, 1968: "Probability theory has a right & a left hand. On the right is the rigorous foundational work using the tools of measure theory. The left hand 'thinks probabilistically,' reduces problems to gambling situations, coin-tossing, motions of a physical particle."

While representation theory is a highly abstract field of pure math, its tools and ideas have found amazingly deep and useful applications in a lot of fields: quantum mechanics, combinatorics, number theory, even molecular chemistry.

Dendroclimatology is the science of determining past climates from trees.
Tree rings are wider when conditions favor growth & narrower when times are difficult.

I've spent thousands of hours studying tree rings. The field is called dendrochronology: https://t.co/sWZyqKkMQz https://t.co/8oodOTWD8o tweet
