Professor

14:22·2026·undergraduate level·Standalone Lecture

An accessible yet rigorous exploration of Jensen's Inequality, providing both geometric intuition and a concrete application within probability theory, produced at the University of Washington.

Jensen's Inequality is one of the most important tools in convex analysis. We develop intuition for Jensen's inequality and explore its importance through an example result in probability theory.

This video was produced at the University of Washington, and we acknowledge funding support from the Boeing Company.
