Simon’s suggestion for the Coding Train on GitHub: Because I like computer science these days, here are some computer science algorithm suggestions: Data Structures Array Linked List Hash Table Stack … Continue reading Simon’s Computer Science Algorithm Suggestions
Simon’s code is published online at: https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/monajune0/Published/Random_walk_distribution.nbhttps://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/monajune0/Published/Random_walk_distribution2D.nb “If I take many random walks and see what the endpoints of those random walks are, what I’ll find is a Gaussian distribution!” … Continue reading Experimenting with random walks in Wolfram Mathematica
“I have first built a maze, then I turned it into a graph and applied Dijkstra’s pathfinding algorithm!” Simon learned this from the Computerphile channel. He later also attempted to … Continue reading Dijkstra’s pathfinding algorithm
An update to Simon’s new project: a series of video tutorials on sorting algorithms! See the full playlist here. Finally, parts 6 and 7 of Simon’s exciting series of video … Continue reading More Sorting Algorithms!
Simon came up to me last nigh saying he didn’t understand what “they mean with God is with me” and showed the following funny conversation going on in the comments … Continue reading Chat experiences
Simon writes (this is a copy of the question he has published in Coding Train’s Slack chat): Hi! I was unconvinced on a Brilliant puzzle: The problem (at https://brilliant.org/practice/treaps/?p=4): Me … Continue reading Unconvinced on a Brilliant puzzle
Simon has started a huge new project: a series of video tutorials about sorting algorithms. In the videos, he codes on his RaspberryPi, but here is the link to the … Continue reading Simon creates a playlist with Sorting Algorithms tutorials in Python
“Mom, how long would it take a supercomputer running at 10^15 additions per second to calculate the 1000th Fibonacci number?” Simon has learned this problem from the new course he … Continue reading Fun with Brilliant’s Computer Courses
Simon explaining his creative coding poster to artists from the Antwerp Art Academy at a small exhibition he was part of last Wednesday.
Simon has tried Matt Parker’s multiplicative persistence challenge on Numberphile: by multiplying all the digits in a large number, looking for the number of steps it takes to bring that … Continue reading Multiplicative Persistence in Wolfram Mathematica
Simon has created the Recaman Sequence audio in Wolfram! First with 70 notes, then with 300 notes.
