In this episode of Stocks in Translation, Bentley University math professor Noah Giansiracusa joins host Jared Blikre and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma to discuss the hidden math shaping everything from social media feeds to credit scores to even stock market indexes. Giansiracusa explains it all revolves around weighted averages. From how TikTok ranks your posts to how FICO calculates your score and why the Dow and S&P 500 tell different market stories, he breaks down the simple formula quietly controlling daily financial life.
