One equation, one curve, describes the distribution of human heights, the thickness of bark on different trees, the velocities of galaxies, the sizes of snowflakes, the weights of loaves of bread. This bell-shaped curve is called the normal distribution and has been discovered again and again throughout the sciences. Why would this same shape describe so many different things? How could one equation tell us about so many different phenomena? Join us to learn about the amazing science of the normal distribution.
