How do you estimate the size of an enemy army... without seeing all of it?
In this video, Dr. James Grime explains the brilliant statistical trick used during World War II to estimate the number of German tanks — using just a few serial numbers.
📊 What you'll learn:
• The surprising power of math and probability in warfare
• How statisticians outsmarted Nazi Germany’s production secrets
• The formula behind the tank estimate — and how accurate it was
• Why it’s still relevant in modern data science
This isn’t just math. This is real-world strategy powered by logic.
