The Galton Board with Pascal’s Triangle is a 12” by 9” (310mm by 218mm) probability demonstrator providing a visualization of math in motion and the powers of the probabilities and statistics. With the addition of the Stock Market Clip-ons, the board illustrates the randomness and the probabilities of various market returns.

The Galton Board displays centuries old mathematical concepts in an innovative, dynamic desktop device. It incorporates Sir Francis Galton’s (1822-1911) invention from 1873 that illustrated the binomial distribution, which for a large number of rows of hexagons and a large number of beads approximates the normal distribution, a concept known as the Central Limit Theorem. He was fascinated with the order of the bell curve that emerges from the apparent chaos of beads bouncing off of pegs in his board. According to the Central Limit Theorem, more specifically, the de Moivre (1667-1754) – Laplace (1749-1827) theorem, the normal distribution may be used as an approximation to the binomial distribution under certain conditions.

When rotated on its axis, the 6,000 steel beads and one large golden bead cascade through 14 rows of symmetrically placed hexagons in the Galton Board.  When the device is level, beads bounce off of the 105 hexagons with equal probability of moving to the left or right. As the beads settle into one of the 15 bins at the bottom of the board, they accumulate to create a bell-shaped histogram.

Printed on the lower part of the board is the normal distribution or bell curve, as well as the average and standard deviation lines relative to that distribution. The bell curve, also known as the Gaussian distribution (Carl Friedrich Gauss, 1777-1855), is important in statistics and probability theory. It is used in the natural and social sciences to represent random variables, like the beads in the Galton Board. You can also see the Y-axis and X-axis descriptions, and numbered bins with expected percentages and numbers of beads. 

 

Printed on the top of the board are formulas for the normal distribution, standard deviation and binomial expansions. 

Overlaid on the hexagons is Pascal’s triangle (Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662), which is a triangle of numbers that follows the rule of adding the two numbers above to get the number below. The number at each hexagon represents the number of different paths a bead could travel from the top hexagon to that hexagon. It also shows the Fibonacci numbers (Leonardo Fibonacci, 1175-1250), which are the sums of specific diagonals in Pascal’s triangle. Within Pascal’s triangle, mathematical properties and patterns are numerous. Those include: natural numbers, row totals, powers of 11, powers of 2, figurate numbers, Star of David theorem, and the hockey stick pattern. Other patterns in Pascal’s triangle not identified on this board include prime numbers; square numbers; binary numbers; Catalan numbers; binomial expansion; fractals; golden ratio; and the Sierpinski triangle.

Among the 6,000 steel beads, there is one golden bead, which demonstrates a single random outcome. Shown on top of each bin is the percentage estimates of the probability from Pascal’s triangle that a bead will land in that bin.  By following the golden bead, you can clearly observe those probabilities with each flip of the Galton Board. When a Stock Market Clip-on is in place, the golden bead can represent the likely range and probabilities of next month’s stock market return. The Galton Board’s probabilities as to which bin the golden bead will land in is a substitute for the prediction of stock market forecasters.

Embedded in this Galton Board are many statistical and mathematical concepts including probability theories, independent identically distributed (iid) random variables, the normal or bell-shaped curve, the Central Limit Theorem (the de Moivre-Laplace theorem), the binomial distribution (also known as the Bernoulli (1655-1705) distribution), regression to the mean, the law of large numbers, probabilities such as coin flipping and stock market returns, the random walk, the Gambler’s Fallacy, the law of frequency of errors and what Sir Francis Galton referred to as the “law of unreason.”

They should call it The Unicorn Bra
Size: 42F, Color: White
What kind of sorcery is this?! I am 58 and have had huge boobs my entire life. I've spent thousands of dollars on bras over the years and have never been 100% happy with one of them. Until now. My daughter recently lost a ton of weight and was looking for "in between" bras until she hits her goal. She didn't want to spend a lot each time she had to replace one so she researched and found Delmira. She immediately called to tell me she found a Unicorn and of course, I had to try it. I ordered 4 more in different colors and styles and let me tell you...all of them are amazing. The support, comfort, style...simply amazing!!

My everyday, everywhere laptop bag
Color: Brown Pu 239
This is hands-down my favorite laptop bag. It’s exactly as pictured. I use it daily and it has traveled all over the world with me. After a full year of hard, everyday use, it’s still holding up beautifully with no signs of wear. It holds a lot without feeling bulky. I’m able to carry my laptop along with content creation tools, marketing materials, chargers, and extras with ease. The two external pockets are incredibly helpful for quick-access items, and the two side drink pockets get used constantly—I often stash an umbrella or spare battery packs in them. One feature I really appreciate when traveling is the snap closure at the top. It’s a small detail, but it adds peace of mind when I’m moving through airports or traveling abroad and want an extra layer of security. It’s also surprisingly versatile style-wise. I carry it with casual outfits and professional attire, and it works with both. Trendy, practical, and thoughtfully designed. If you’re on the fence, get the bag. It’s well worth the cost in all categories. It’s reliable, well made, and clearly designed for real daily use.

Stylish and Functional, But with a Minor Quirk
Color: Brown Pu 239
I really love this PU leather backpack purse! It’s a perfect mix of style and practicality, but there’s one small design issue that keeps it from being perfect. **Pros:** - **Stylish Design:** The leather finish looks chic and goes well with any outfit. It’s versatile enough for casual outings or work. - **Spacious and Organized:** The compartments are thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space for all my essentials without feeling bulky. - **Comfortable to Wear:** The adjustable straps make it easy to carry as a backpack, and the weight distribution is great. - **Durable Material:** The PU leather feels high-quality and holds up well to daily use. **Cons:** - **Top Handles Issue:** The top handles stand straight up when I wear it as a backpack, which can look a little awkward and get in the way. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I wish they could lay flat. Overall, this backpack purse is a fantastic buy, especially for the price. If the top handle design doesn’t bother you, it’s an excellent addition to your wardrobe. Stylish, functional, and durable!
