Recently I’ve started to see a lot of questions regarding to the “mathematics tutorials or supplementary materials for Machine Learning and AI” in the online discussions with the emergence of Stanford’s online AI and machine learning courses. As with the internet crowd, I’m going to participate these courses as well and I’ve always found the [...]

Basic Concepts in Functional Programming Part 1
In a series of posts I’ll try to summarize (only briefly) the basic concepts of functional programming. Functional Programming According to wikipedia the definition of functional programming is: In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It emphasizes the [...]
Philosophy and Computer Science
I’ve just found out an interesting MIT course on Philosophy and Theoretical Computer Science with code 6.893 and thought by Scott Aaronson. The most attractive part of this course for me was articles included in the reading list of the web page. There are great articles in that list: Scott Aaronson, NP-complete Problems and Physical Reality [...]
Bitwise Operators and Binary Tricks for System Programming
Bitwise operators in most of the programming languages are common and inherited from the C (e.g.: &, |, ^, >>, …). These operations are critical in the low-level programming (for instance for writing drivers). In the beginning of this post I’ll just briefly pass over them and present some tricks using them. As a programming [...]

Storing IP addresses in database as decimal have several advantages on storing as a string (storing, efficiency, processing… etc). But my goal was to be able to easily query if an IP address is in a block or between a given IP range. The following two functions are often handy for converting a string IPV6 [...]
Learn you a haskell for Math! – Part 1
It has been for some time since I’ve used haskell for programming (in fact for my personal and work related projects I don’t use haskell. because I still feel so novice at it), so I thought that implementing some basic mathematical functions might be a good exercise. I’m planning to write 3 series, in the [...]

1 Introduction Major goal of network tomography is to infer the internal characteristics of network by only using data from the end nodes. Each node can either be a computer, router or a subnetwork. Broadly speaking large-scale network inference involves estimating network parameters (can be performance or other) based on traffic measurements at a limited subset of nodes [...]
Math behind the Quantum Computers
AMS has excellent math articles for introductory and general audience in a series of feature columns every month. Luckily those articles are accessible from the web. Recently I noticed two very interesting articles on mathematics behind the quantum computers. The articles can be accessed from those links part 1 and part 2. The math described [...]
Matlab Commands in NumPy and R
There is a very nice pdf prepared by V. B. Gunderson for the correspondents of Matlab commands in numpy and R. You can access the pdf version of document by clicking here. Take note this site, one day you may need it . Related Posts:No Related Posts

Recently I’ve discovered a very useful gem OpenClassroom from Stanford University. In that page there are lectures from several famous professors in Stanford University. The lectures are usually interactive and visual, for instance lecturer asks a question and the videos stops, then it continues after you’ve answered the question. I believe in free online education [...]
