I wonder how does the math of this stack up against using space-filling curves in Google's S2?

Going to get into introductory analysis soon too myself! The one tip that I have been given is to build intuition by taking/relearning the computational part of calculus before diving into the rigorous part of things. Hopefully someone

@HiroshiSan, where do you draw the line between math and advanced math? You clearly are not a beginner abd I now wonder the intent of your question

I wholeheartedly recommend the book of proof! (Mostly because I went through it inch by inch)

Proof writing. Sat down with a textbooks and partial solutions at the back. Took a year as I had other priorities. Advice: 1.Regardless of which route you choose to go whether probability theory, algebraic geometry or optimization algorithm

Wasn't Category theory supposed to unify everything? Has it failed in doing so?

I sincerely think that the minute you stop thinking that Math cannot be applied to a problem solving situation or Math is too fancy/theoretical, the Tower of Babylon type problems starts

This is what I read in this article. The author has a problem with people thinking that rote-learnt algorithms is the best thing ever, and proceeds to say nope a stash of the most subjective heuristics to produce 'good code' is wa

Organization is a mathematical and algorithmic problem regardless of the context. And if you think people go to school so that they mug up algorithms, you're missing the point of school. You go to school to learn how to problem-solve,

I don't understand this! Math is a super set of algorithmic wizardry and if you include heuristics in algorithmic wizardry (why would you not?),isn't organizational skills a part of the Algorithmic Wizardry? So he's saying th

I see what you mean. The symmetric part is noted. Thank you for the reply

The article states the guy says when you have n objects you have n^2 possible collisions, if you're assuming just one on one interaction and an object cannot collide with itself shouldn't it be n*(n-1)? Am I missing something her

Resilient in what sense?able to come back and pretend like nothing happened or gloss over and hope things will be alright? Isn't that why we are trying to do away with people? About the second thing you've surely that cannot be tr

One, I think the article doesn't underline why a paper based system would be better than a paperless method other than giving examples of hacked paperless system and weird claims like paper methods are bullet proof provided they are ma

Quite honestly, I feel if you think Haskell's beauty is somehow in any way associated with masochist mindset , you most likely think Maths is associated with a masochist mindset and (assuming math defines reality) the true nature reali

Having learnt Haskell as my first programming language, sure it has a high learning curve but it pays off in so many ways. It is without doubt the most beautiful language ever conceived. Without doubt it is the right language to unlearn imp

Brilliant advice? More like overused uninspiring crap.. perhaps as uninspiring like the LinkedIn UI and everything LinkedIn ...

Thank you for the reply. The journaling part sounds very logical for anybody of any situation :) your words do ring a clarion Bell. Thank you so much

Thank you for the reply. I do appreciate the list of thoughts especially how learning new words to help in forming new concepts from math and the likes. I do cook and bake as a hobby though not as actively as I should. Will go down the shor
