Here is the ACTUAL Cosine Ranking Video we meant to upload....

The rise of online dating across the globe is no secret. But what is a secret is the algorithm different apps like Hinge, Tinder, or Bumble use to find you your perfect match.

With Valentines day coming up you might be wondering, how can I use math to find myself a valentine's day date? Or maybe you're just really interested in understanding how dating app algorithms work.

Either way this video has what you're looking for as we'll be diving deep into things like cosine ranking, Elo rankings, collaborative filtering, and the Gale Shapley Algorithm which all play a crucial role in the world of online match making.

Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”

We use unique topics for algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and much more and go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.
