Melange 2012 presents THE POET

Mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. People always wonder what the applications of Quantitative Methods and reasoning are in practical life. How does it really matter whether a test is found to be significant or not? What is meant by significance? How does correlation affect us in our day to day life? How are decision trees different from actual trees? Didn’t somebody say “Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics”? This is a contest themed on quantitative techniques.
