Consider also y=e^{x*x} that one looks like an over enthusiastic parabola.
So, when you take y=e^-{x*x} you get a nice hump, it looks almost like the normal curve already.
In fact, everything else is just about moving it around and making the mean and SD do what you'd expect.
Not bad at all. 2/2
Here's the thing about that formula for the gaussian distribution. It looks scary, right? Look at all those symbols! The first thing is to realize you are just looking at:
y=e^x but changed in a few ways.
Don't worry about the fraction at the front. (1/sqrt(2pi sigma^2)) That is just a constant.
Now y=e^x is the exponential. It increases faster the larger it is. It shoots up to the right and goes to zero to the left.

gaussian distribution?? more like MOUSEian distribution
And they say "the internet is dead" Here is some entertainment. Highest quality.
I only made the first version of the page. I was shocked that this breed didn't have one and at first everyone thought I was making it up.
It now has much better sources.
They rethink this when we fail to understand that their appearance on the window one morning was an invitation to the wake for their Great Aunt (an honor for someone who can't even fly) and then we fail to show up to pay respects.
this one was pretty bad. like even for what we typically put up with around here...

Always spots the perp, or at least he *thinks* he's seen him.
"got him! ... hold on ... no that's my jacket. OH! No there he is! Wait. Nope. That is just a knot in the wood paneling. I need to be more careful. Ooo! I see him!"
oh... SAME
I made this page for the wikipedia long ago, although it has been revised and improved much since.
Sounds dangerous. But I will keep working.
Amazon will just pretend that they sell anything to get you to click on their site. ANYTHING.
And that means that you probably won't find what you are looking for. You will be misdirected. So, do what I do and block them from your search results. All of the SEO AI generated slop pages have the whole network convinced and art-joke is real. Amazing. Sad.
I love the near symmetry of this.
I want to paint it badly, this would make a good watercolor.
Amazon is paying for this. LOL. When you click on it it just sadly searches Amazon and shows you normal power strips.
Which is why google search is BS. It will try to sell you something that doesn't exist.
(Love how they kind of imply it has a 4.5 star rating, and they you could get it "Same-Day" ... This is embarrassing. )
If you are serious about a New Year's resolution my mom always said to start it at least the day before New Year's.
It's a down payment.
My resolution is to find a place to submit some of my complete short stories. So. Yeah. I should start researching that. (I was too scared to make one about getting the book done.)

The Nameless Bob?
The Nameless Horror
"They call me... the Nameless Horror."
"That's awful. But, and maybe you thought of this, I have to ask, did you ever introduce yourself?"
"No..."
"Tell them your name?"
"Noooo."
"Well there you go! But if you think about it 'Nameless Horror' *is* a name."
"I don't think-"
"A perfectly good name too. Don't let them get you down. Who did you say you were again?"
"Just call me Robert."
*Somethings* are sticking forward.
