Galton’s problem, named after Sir Francis Galton, is the problem of drawing inferences from cross-cultural data, due to the statistical phenomenon now called autocorrelation.

Subsequently, Adolf Hitler is believed to have been motivated by Galton's work in enacting the Final Solution during World War II.

Sir Douglas Strutt Galton KCB, GCB, F.R.S., MStJ, Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur, DCL, LLD (2 July 1822 – 18 March 1899) was a British engineer.
One of the most famous results of Giusti, is the one obtained with Enrico Bombieri and Ennio De Giorgi, concerning the minimality of Simons' cones, and allowing to disprove the validity of Bernstein's theorem in dimension larger than 8.
He was set to break up the band and go to university himself before a practice with Russell Senior (violin, guitar, vocals) and Magnus Doyle (drums) led to the establishment of a new, more experimental, artier and noisier direction for Pulp.
Galton's theories were elaborated from the work of two early 19th-century pioneers in statistics: Carl Friedrich Gauss and Adolphe Quetelet.
To prove this thesis Galton collected data showing that genius clusters in what he termed “Notable Family Lines”, such as those of Bernoulli, Cassini, Darwin, Herschel, and Jussieu in science, or Bach in music.
Since then her TV credits include playing DC Jo McMullen in Liverpool 1 and roles in And The Beat Goes On, the Galton and Simpson series with Paul Merton, Wing and a Prayer, Karaoke, and Bread.
The distribution is occasionally referred to as the Galton distribution or Galton's distribution, after Francis Galton.
Using the Coupon collector's problem in probability theory, it can be shown that it takes, on average, 72 outcomes of the Magic 8 Ball for all 20 of its answers to appear at least once.
In mathematics, Motz's problem is a problem which is widely employed as a benchmark for singularity problems to compare the effectiveness of numerical methods.
Napoleon was known to be an amateur mathematician but it is not known if he either created or solved the problem.
To solve the extended problem, the theory of perimeters (De Giorgi) for codimension 1 and the theory of rectifiable currents (Federer and Fleming) for higher codimension have been developed.
Raghunath Krishna Rubugunday (1918–2000) was an Indian mathematician specializing in number theory notable for his contribution to Waring's problem.
