Today:
- Announcements:
- Nick did, indeed, find an error in 10.4, #9, but I think that
we've got it licked now. Let me know whenever you think you have a
problem in IMath. It may be you, but it may be IMath, too!
- Two of my favorite undergraduates (soon to be alumni) are giving
talks today:
- Parker Kain will be presenting "Reservoir-Based Deep Learning for
Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease" (Parker promises that his
will be accessible to everyone! Don't fear the title!).
- Alli Zembrodt will be presenting "Data Analysis of Game of
Thrones". I'm sure that hers will be entertaining....
Talks will be from 12:30-1:30, in GH150.
- Today:
- Yesterday we finished up with Sect. 12.2: Vectors (pdf, pdf summary)
- The focus was on scaling and adding (and subtracting) vectors, as well
as "normalizing" them (turning them into unit vectors).
-
We also talked about establishing a "local coordinate system" (called
the "Frenet
Frame" -- watch video until 5:15, at least!).
- Today we're focused on more operations between vectors, in
particular "multiplication". We continue now with Sect. 12.3: Dot product (pdf, pdf summary)
