Henry Junak believes the human body is the perfect, God-given machine. “In his own relentless quest for perfection, man is trying to build the ‘perfect machine’ – one that will, someday, be in ...

If you enjoy solving puzzles, you are going to love algebra! Algebra is used in Maths when we do not know the exact number or numbers in an equation. In place of these missing numbers, we use letters ...

A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3j - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(j\) in the ...

Mathematicians used “magic functions” to prove that two highly symmetric lattices solve a myriad of problems in eight- and 24-dimensional space. The points could be an infinite collection of electrons ...

The Workshop on Functional Inference and Machine Intelligence (FIMI) is an international workshop on machine learning and statistics, with a particular focus on theory, methods, and practice. It ...

Then to optimize over that linear model they’ll show you gradient descent, and again you’ll note, “Well, that’s just calculus!” Support vector machines? Merely convex optimization. Naive Bayes? Just ...
