Corona Math
On March 17, Simon started a series of math and coding projects about COVID-19. The first projects he called Corona Math: Why Social Isolation? This is part I of my … Continue reading Corona Math
Pi Day 2020
This year’s Pi Day wasn’t as joyful as in the previous years, as it coincided with our first week in self-isolation and we were too preoccupied to make sure we … Continue reading Pi Day 2020
Math for Neural Networks and Calculus Fundamentals via Brilliant.org
A little over a month ago, Simon picked up neural networks again (something he had tried a while ago but couldn’t grasp intuitively). He started the Artificial Neural Networks course … Continue reading Math for Neural Networks and Calculus Fundamentals via Brilliant.org
The three ages or 1-input 1-output logic gates
After a whole night working on my writing and not feeling very fresh in the morning, I told Simon about the three ages of life: the young age is when … Continue reading The three ages or 1-input 1-output logic gates

How Many Dice Rolls Until You Get a Repeat. A Probability Experiment in p5.js
How many times, on average, do you have to roll a dice until you get a repeated value? I saw this probability challenge on the Mind Your Decisions channel. I … Continue reading How Many Dice Rolls Until You Get a Repeat. A Probability Experiment in p5.js
Simon’s graph theory thoughts about the overpopulation problem
In a complete binary tree, every node has two children (except for the bottom nodes that don’t have any children at all). This means one mind-blowing thing: that the bottom … Continue reading Simon’s graph theory thoughts about the overpopulation problem
