Prime Generation Algorithm in Python
Simon has written a code in Python that generates primes using the finite list from Euclid’s proof that there are infinitely many primes. “Starting with one prime (2) the code … Continue reading Prime Generation Algorithm in Python
Simon building an 8-bit Computer from scratch. Parts 1 & 2.
Parts 1 and 2 in Simon’s new series showing him attempting to build an 8-bit computer from scratch, using the materials from Ben Eater’s Complete 8-bit breadboard computer kit bundle. … Continue reading Simon building an 8-bit Computer from scratch. Parts 1 & 2.
Simon has been bitten by the hardware bug again!
It’s all Ben Eater‘s fault! Simon is more of a software and pure math champion, but Ben Eater’s videos have sparked Simon’s interest in logic and electronics, anew. Back in … Continue reading Simon has been bitten by the hardware bug again!
It takes the sun to the ground, and violet on the observer’s eye.
Simon writes: This amazing sentence is generated by a Markov Text-Generation Algorithm. What is a Markov Algorithm? Simply put, it generates the rules from a source text, and it generates … Continue reading It takes the sun to the ground, and violet on the observer’s eye.

Doing Brilliant.org together with Neva
Simon teaching his sister Neva from the Mathematical Fundamentals course on Brilliant:
Triangular, Square, Pentagonal, Hexagonal Numbers
I asked Simon to show me how he’d come up with the formulae:
Encoding and Cracking Codes in Python
Had great fun learning how to crack codes using Python! Simon is currently following the Programming with Python course on Brilliant.org and showed me how to see whether an encrypted … Continue reading Encoding and Cracking Codes in Python
