> Brownian motion and Itô calculare a notable example of fairly high-level mathematics that are applied to model the real world
What is “Itô calculare” supposed to have been? I am stumped. “Its calculation”?
- karpierz 2y agoIto calculus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus
- luisfmh 2y agoItô is the name of the type of calculus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus) and calculare I think is just the plural of calculus. So something like "all the itô calculus are notable examples of fairly high level mathematics ..."
- dmvdoug 2y agoThat makes so much more sense! Although the pedant in me wants to argue that calculus plural is “calculi”/“calculuses” (the dictionary gives me the latter, although I’ve never seen it in the wild myself—-but I won’t pursue that because it’s beside the point!) Thanks for the help!
- layer8 2y agoThe plural of calculus is calculi or calculuses. Calculare might be an autocorrection for a different language (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/calculare https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/calculare), though given that the author has a Korean name, it’s more likely just a weird typo.
- FabHK 2y agoTypo. -> and Itô calculus are a notable
- adgjlsfhk1 2y agothe article goes into the details in https://jiha-kim.github.io/posts/introduction-to-stochastic-calculus/#the-it%C3%B4-integral-integrating-against-randomness https://jiha-kim.github.io/posts/introduction-to-stochastic-... but the TLDR is it's a way to define integration of random walks.

- incognito124 2y agoIt's a typo. "calculare" is supposed to be "calculus are"
