A Generalization of the Handle Addition Theorem

We will generalize Jaco's Handle Addition Theorem to the n-compressibility of surfaces on the boundary of 3-manifolds. Several corollaries are given that show how the theorem can be applied to ...

What is Bayes's theorem, and how can it be used to assign probabilities to questions such as the existence of God? What scientific value does it have?

Chris Wiggins, an associate professor of applied mathematics at Columbia University, offers this explanation. A patient goes to see a doctor. The doctor performs a test with 99 percent ...
