Two different approaches to a probability problem involving convex polytopes lead to a geometric proof of an integral geometric result about mixed surface areas.

We analyze Nordhaus’ DICE model and show that the temperature and CO2 equations are needlessly complicated and can be simplified without loss of essence. In addition, we argue that the damage function can be altered in such a way that it lends itself to experiments involving extreme risk.

In taberna quando sumus? Osservazioni sul gioco d’azzardo (alea) a Pompei
The past few years have seen a renewed interest about Roman law on gambling. Combining literary and legal sources, we are now able to reconstruct the interventions of the legislator from the Republican age to the Justianian reign.

A new methodology called dice game optimizer for capacitor placement in distribution systems [PDF]
Purpose. Shunt capacitors are installed in power system for compensating reactive power. Therefore, feeder capacity releases, voltage profile improves and power loss reduces.

We consider $n$-sided dice whose face values lie between $1$ and $n$ and whose faces sum to $n(n+1)/2$. For two dice $A$ and $B$, define $A \succ B$ if it is more likely for $A$ to show a higher face than $B$. Suppose $k$ such dice $A_1,\dots,A_k$ are randomly selected. We conjecture that the probability of ties goes to 0 as $n$ grows.

Concerning Dice and Divinity [PDF]
Einstein initially objected to the probabilistic aspect of quantum mechanics - the idea that God is playing at dice. Later he changed his ground, and focussed instead on the point that the Copenhagen Interpretation leads to what Einstein saw as the ...
