How much math knowledge do you need for machine learning and deep learning? Some people say not much. Others say a lot. Both are correct, depending on what you want to achieve. There are plenty of ...

There was a time that I thought that understanding math was more useful than memorizing it. A certain amount of memorization is essential, especially for lower-level math. For example, you need to ...

Today’s teaching methods prioritize creative problem-solving over traditional formulas and equations, but these changes may be critical for the next generation. A group of children work together on a ...

A school year unlike any other is coming to a close, but one thing remains the same: We’re still tussling, in the same old ways, over how math should be taught. More data science, less stuffy ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have developed MathDeck, an online search interface that allows anyone to easily create, edit and lookup sophisticated math formulas on the computer.

Then to optimize over that linear model they’ll show you gradient descent, and again you’ll note, “Well, that’s just calculus!” Support vector machines? Merely convex optimization. Naive Bayes? Just ...
