Hi, I'm happy to chat with your brother, to help him work out what are some good questions to ask, when looking for the best kind of service provider / consultant is best for him. I might then either be able to help him myself, or

This new coefficient of correlation is really really awesome, and this visualization shows its value in such a beautifully simple presentation. It would be great if someone who has Wikipedia edit privileges, can edit the Wikipedia article a

This is an order-based algorithm, so it is more related to the median than the mean. Another very useful consequence of being order-based, is that this new coefficient is much more robust to noise/outliers than the canonical correlatio

1. yes, the index represents the dimensionality So[0,1)^1 is a line interval, [0,1)^2 is a unit square and [0,1)^3 is the unit cube, and [0,1]^d is a d-dimensional cube. 2.Only one boundary can be included It includes 0 but not 1 because it

You are right. In mathematics, the traditional notation {x} represents the fractional part of x. Regarding the two-variable function mod(x,b). Typically this is written as x (mod b) in maths, and as x%b in computing. It is generally well k

I don't have any intelligent comments on your question, but I wanted to say that I am a fan of Quanta magazine, but somehow had missed this really cool article. So thanks for pointing me to this fascinating field. ;)

One reason/situation where the Fibonacci method is preferred is because it is a direct construction method, which can be coded in a few lines, rather than an indirect iterative method. The second is that because an energy minmization m

I believe it is right. However, I often get these two intuitively mixed up because: Icosahedron: 12 points, 20 faces (and 30 edges) Dodecahedron: 20 points, 12 faces (and 30 edges)

I was given the book "The 85 ways to Tie a Tie" as a gift many years ago. It is a wonderful read for nerds. "Two physicists prove that there are not just four ways to tie a tie, but a further eighty-one. ‘The 85 Ways to Tie a

For those interested in this topic, I wrote a similar blog post on the geometric interpretation of the various trig functions, which also includes some similar diagrams for the hyperbolic trig functions: sinh, cosh, tanh, sech, etc. http:&

Hi voisin, Congrats on your half marathon. It is in some ways not that much a jump from 21km to 100km runs. Regarding my personal path, although I have always been generally fit and healthy, I went from no running as an adult to doing a sin

My suggestion is to keep a notebook with you at all times, and keep track of the following 3 things: # 1. Every time you need to do something, but you don't don't know how to do it. Chances are you aren't the only one who doe

Possibly a controversial opinion but my belief is that you can effectively measure the usefulness of a non-fiction work (text book, academic paper, article, tutorial, etc) by asking if you learnt anything from it. One. Simple. Thing. Is.
