Elusive Matrix Math
Many efforts to make a leap forward in understanding Matrix Math last week. Simon was stuck in several vector functions projects (in Python, C#, Java and JavaScript) when trying to … Continue reading Elusive Matrix Math

Many efforts to make a leap forward in understanding Matrix Math last week. Simon was stuck in several vector functions projects (in Python, C#, Java and JavaScript) when trying to … Continue reading Elusive Matrix Math
Simon talks about his changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge: He has rewritten the code in an object oriented manner. Later he also turned the sphere into an … Continue reading Simon’s changes to Daniel Shiffman’s Spherical Geometry Coding Challenge
Simon’s lecture on the different ways to simulate light in Processing (Java):
Simon made another attempt to conquer vector functions, now in JavaScript (in Atom) and got stuck once he reached the Matrix Class, again. He had already tried this in Java, … Continue reading More Vector Functions. The Damned Matrix Class.
Simon returned to his old Attractor sketch in Processing once again, now adding some new functions: The code original came from Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code, Chapter 5 (Physics … Continue reading Back to Attractor with ToxicLibs
Simon explains why he slightly changed Daniel Shiffman’s Lorenz Attractor Coding Challenge: Simon used four variables instead of 11. The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations, first … Continue reading Simon’s Changes to the Lorenz Attractor Coding Challenge
In the videos below, Simon is building a Codota demo in Java. Codota is an AI programming assistant that is looking for solutions on GitHub and other global resources and … Continue reading Simon testing Codota
Simon explains how to use XOR in a simple neural network with multiple perceptrons. Based upon Daniel Shiffman’s live stream on neural networks number 98.
In for a shower? Simon made a beautiful Cloud Simulation in Processing (Java). He wrote this code himself. This is the final version of the project: The whole project is … Continue reading Cloud Simulation. Simon’s Own Code.
Simon was preoccupied with vector functions for most of the day on Saturday, compiling what, at first site, looked like a monstrously excessive code in Processing (he recycled some of … Continue reading Back to Python (and C#)!
Simon seems to be setting first gentle steps in Calculus, once again thanks to Daniel Shiffman. In the videos below, Simon talks about minimizing and maximizing functions, the power rule, … Continue reading Treading into Calculus
Simon has been working on a very complicated topic for the past couple of days: Linear Regression. In essence, it is the math behind machine learning. Simon was watching Daniel … Continue reading Simon gets serious with Linear Regression (Machine Learning)
