The Digital Computer Electronics book
Simon has been mesmerised by this book for a couple of days by now, the Digital Computer Electronics eBook (third edition). He has downloaded it online and has been reading … Continue reading The Digital Computer Electronics book
The Diffe-Hellman key exchange algorithm
This is Simon explaining Diffe-Hellman key exchange (also called DiffeHellman protocol). He first explained the algorithm mixing watercolours (a color representing a key/ number) and then mathematically. The algorithm allows … Continue reading The Diffe-Hellman key exchange algorithm
Doing math and computer science everywhere
One more blog post with impressions from our vacation at the Cote d’Azur in France. Don’t even think of bringing Simon to the beach or the swimming pool without a … Continue reading Doing math and computer science everywhere
Simon introducing himself for the World Science Scholars program
This is Simon’s introductory video for the World Science Scholars program (initiative of The World Science Festival). In May this year, Simon has been chosen as one of the 30 … Continue reading Simon introducing himself for the World Science Scholars program
Why mathematics may become computer science
Walking home from the swimming pool (where he and Neva had been jumping into the water exactly 24 times, calling out all the permutations of 1,2,3 and 4), Simon suddenly … Continue reading Why mathematics may become computer science
Pathfinding algorithms: Dijkstra’s and Breadth-first search
The photos below show Simon playing with Breadth-first search and Dijkstra’s algorithms to find the most efficient path from S to E on a set of graphs. The two more … Continue reading Pathfinding algorithms: Dijkstra’s and Breadth-first search
More examples of Simon’s chat contributions on math and coding
Simon is always extremely active in the discussions about the current projects made by/ lectures given by NYU’s Asdociate Professor Daniel Shiffman during his live sessions on the Coding Train … Continue reading More examples of Simon’s chat contributions on math and coding
Simon’s Computer Science Algorithm Suggestions
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
Dijkstra’s pathfinding algorithm
“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
More Sorting Algorithms!
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!
