Importance of Unit Testing Mathematical Functions
2:53:40 - 2:59:19 (05:39)
The speaker emphasizes the importance of unit testing mathematical functions, which can be easily done with modern technology, to ensure accuracy and reliability especially since they might be read many times more than they're written. The Kelly criterion is a particular concept that benefits from this approach as it is widely used and useful to know.
