Mathematics Expert Witnesses

Technology companies, financial institutions, and patent holders face litigation whenever a mathematical algorithm, statistical methodology, or quantitative financial model is challenged as inaccurate, infringing, or unsupported. These disputes commonly involve patent disputes concerning algorithms used in cryptography, data compression, and computational technology, challenges to the statistical methodology underlying damages models or survey evidence, and disputes over the mathematical models used to value complex financial instruments. Because these disputes often turn on technical mathematical reasoning that is unfamiliar to a lay judge or jury, the central issue in these cases is typically whether the mathematical or statistical methodology applied is sound and whether it actually supports the conclusion being offered. Resolving that question requires an expert who can both perform and clearly explain rigorous quantitative analysis.

A mathematics expert examines the underlying algorithm, statistical model, or quantitative methodology to determine whether it is mathematically sound and whether it actually supports the technical or damages conclusion being offered. That analysis often exposes whether an opposing expert’s statistical or financial model rests on flawed assumptions or an inappropriate methodology, which is central to challenging damages calculations and survey-based evidence. In patent disputes, the expert’s technical analysis of an algorithm or computational method directly supports infringement and validity positions by comparing the accused technology against asserted claims. This same expertise strengthens litigation strategy by giving counsel a rigorous, academically grounded framework for cross-examining an opposing expert’s quantitative analysis.

Because mathematics-based disputes require both rigorous technical expertise and the ability to explain complex quantitative reasoning clearly, selecting an expert whose specific mathematical specialty matches the case is essential. The experts we can provide include mathematicians and applied mathematics scholars with backgrounds spanning statistics, cryptography, financial modeling, and computational theory, many of whom have advised government agencies and testified in complex technical litigation. Round Table Group has completed more than 75,000 expert searches for litigators, and we apply that experience to match counsel with mathematics experts whose specific technical background fits the case. Let us help you find the right mathematics expert for your case by calling us at (202) 908-4500.

Kinds of Cases We Work On

Round Table Group helps our clients find a wide variety of Mathematics expert witnesses for cases like:

01

Actuarial Reserve Methodology Dispute

A primary insurer sued its reinsurer after a dispute arose over the actuarial methodology used to calculate loss reserves ceded under a treaty, with the parties disagreeing over reserve adequacy by a substantial margin. We identified experts with experience in actuarial reserving methodology, loss development triangle analysis, and stochastic reserve modeling. The expert's independent reserve calculation using the treaty's specified methodology supported the insurer's reserve figures, resolving the dispute in arbitration
02

Credit Scoring Model Bias Dispute

A regional lender sued its credit scoring model vendor after discovering the model's statistical weighting of certain variables produced systematically inconsistent risk scores, contributing to significant loan losses. We identified experts with experience in statistical model validation, credit risk scoring methodology, and predictive modeling techniques. The expert's independent back-testing of the model against the lender's loan performance data confirmed a statistically significant miscalibration, supporting the lender's breach of contract claim.
03

Derivatives Valuation Methodology Dispute

Two counterparties to an interest rate swap portfolio disputed the mark-to-market valuation used to settle a terminated position, with competing valuation models differing substantially. We identified experts with experience in derivatives pricing models, stochastic interest rate modeling, and quantitative finance methodology. The expert's replication of the valuation using standard market-accepted discounting conventions supported one party's termination value, anchoring the arbitration award.
04

Cryptographic Algorithm Patent Dispute

A cybersecurity company sued a competitor after a newly released encryption product incorporated a key-exchange method the plaintiff alleged infringed its patented cryptographic algorithm. We identified experts with experience in cryptography and number theory, algorithm design analysis, and patent claim construction for mathematical methods. The expert's mathematical analysis of the accused algorithm's key-derivation steps found it practiced the patented method's core computational sequence, supporting the infringement claim.
05

Random Number Generator Statistical Bias Dispute

A casino gaming operator sued its slot machine software vendor after independent testing revealed statistically significant bias in the random number generator underlying several game titles, resulting in regulatory fines and machine decommissioning costs. We identified experts with experience in random number generator design, statistical hypothesis testing, and gaming regulatory compliance standards. The expert's statistical analysis of millions of generated outcomes confirmed the bias exceeded regulatory tolerance thresholds, supporting the operator's claim against the vendor.
06

Insurance Ratemaking Model Dispute

A managing general agent sued its insurance carrier partner after the carrier unilaterally revised the ratemaking model underlying a specialty program, alleging the changes were not statistically supported by the program's loss experience and breached their agreement. We identified experts with experience in insurance ratemaking methodology, loss experience rating analysis, and actuarial pricing standards. The expert's review of the loss data found it did not support the magnitude of the carrier's rate revision, supporting the MGA's breach of contract claim.
07

Quantitative Trading Algorithm Misrepresentation Dispute

A hedge fund sued the developer of a licensed quantitative trading algorithm after live performance fell far short of the backtested returns represented during licensing negotiations, resulting in substantial losses. We identified experts with experience in quantitative trading strategy validation, backtesting methodology, and statistical overfitting analysis. The expert's reconstruction of the backtest found it relied on look-ahead bias not disclosed to the fund, supporting the fund's fraud and breach of contract claims.
08

Statistical Sampling Warranty Dispute

A manufacturer disputed a component supplier's statistical sampling analysis used to project warranty failure rates across a multi-million-unit product line, arguing the sample size and confidence intervals understated the true failure rate. We identified experts with experience in statistical sampling methodology, confidence interval analysis, and quality reliability engineering. The expert's recalculation using an adequately powered sample found the true failure rate materially exceeded the supplier's projection, supporting the manufacturer's damages claim.
09

Pension Actuarial Valuation Dispute

A plan sponsor sued its actuarial consulting firm after a pension funding valuation understated the plan's liabilities, resulting in a shortfall the sponsor discovered only after a subsequent valuation using updated mortality assumptions. We identified experts with experience in pension actuarial valuation, mortality and demographic assumption-setting, and actuarial standards of practice. The expert's review of the original valuation's mortality table selection found it inconsistent with prevailing actuarial guidance at the time, supporting the sponsor's professional negligence claim.
10

Route Optimization Algorithm Patent Dispute

A logistics technology company sued a competitor after its newly launched delivery routing platform employed an optimization algorithm the plaintiff alleged infringed its patented vehicle routing method. We identified experts with experience in combinatorial optimization and operations research, algorithm design analysis, and computational complexity theory. The expert's mathematical comparison of the two algorithms' optimization heuristics found the accused method replicated the patented approach's core constraint-solving logic, supporting the infringement claim.
