Stork | Several years ago I attended a wonderful talk by Persi Diaconis in the Stanford Statistics Department where he used very sophisticated statistics to analyze properties of elementary-school arithmetic, such as the statistics of how frequently you must perform a carry when adding or multiplying multi-digit numbers. Not what you're seeking, but close. statweb.stanford.edu/~cgates/PERSI/papers/… | |
