The perpetually undervalued least-squares:

minₓ‖y−Ax‖²

can teach a lot about some complex ideas in modern machine learning including overfitting & double-descent.

Let's assume A is n-by-p. So we have n data points and p parameters

1/n

0.999... is equal to 1

The sum of an infinite geometric series can be found

S = a/(1 - r)

where S is the sum, a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

In this case, the first term is a = 9/10 and the common ratio is r = 1/10. We get:

S = (9/10)/(1 - 1/10) = 1

the judges really loved this one! thank you for bringing such fantasy creatures to mathematics

This is 'The Intangible Dragon', a resident of non-euclidean spaces. I created this for the competition held by @cmitiisertvm for pi-week and won 1st Prize!
I loved creating this and felt very satisfied at the end :)

Feels pretty good when a viral “why aren’t math books written like this??” tweet perfectly describes how I wrote both of my books.

Seems like the people want Long-Form Math! https://t.co/5Yp2IdLTgg

The standard recipe for multiplying a 2-by-2 matrix requires eight multiplications. In 1969, Volker Strassen discovered a procedure that uses seven rather than eight multiplication steps. Strassen’s approach was later proved to be optimal. https://t.co/gIwymlEJvV

@_exhibitA_ amazing series started by Bharath Krishna S. we need to know more about mathematicians

[Jay Cummings @LongFormMath]

I'm sorry

[Club of Mathematics, IISER Thiruvananthapuram @cmitiisertvm]

CMIT is here with a two day workshop in mathematics. Teachers from around Trivandrum are here to attend the lectures by eminent professors. Hope these two days are fun!

When you find out that the group theory you’re learning was invented by someone younger than you and now your day is ruined
