The 37 Percent
37% is the solution to the optimal stopping problem. Optimal stopping theory is the notion of choosing the best time in which to take an action in order to maximise reward and minimise cost. Often explained by the “Secretary Problem”, 37% holds great meaning to computer scientists and mathematicians beyond just an interesting problem. Hosted by Australian computer scientists Isaac and Luke, The 37% Podcast dives deep into topics that lead to thought-provoking discussions. Focused on science, technology and business, this podcast aims to engage listeners in a journey of learning and curiosity. We’d love to hear your questions!
