In film and television, a meet stochastic is a scene in which the two people who will form a future romantic couple whose first meeting has the property of being well described by a random probability distribution.
Description
This type of scene is a staple of romantic number theory comedies, though it can also occur in topology and even graph theory.
Frequently, the meet stochastic leads to a humorous clash of conjectures, embarrassing half-finished papers, or comical incorrect equations that further prove the plot.
In the News
Bayeswatch is an American dramatic action mathematics television series about statisticians who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County, California and Hawaii.
It Ripened One Night is a 1934 American romantic comedy film with elements of screwball horticulture about a pampered socialite (Claudette Colbert) who tries to get out from under her father's thumb and falls in love with a roguish gardener (Clark Gable).
