There is so much I really don't understand about this subject. Already learning some stuff in the first couple mins 😄
My favorite demo on importance of machine epsilon:
~
def f(x):
if x <= 1/2:
return 2 * x
if x > 1/2:
return 2*x - 1
x = 1/10
for i in range(80):
print(x)
x = f(x)

This is so interesting, so cool to better understand how maths work under the higher programming levels we are used to work with! thank you to take the time to explain to us! loving it
Fun fact, there are more numbers between 0 and 1, than there are integers above 0.
Thanks , Every computer scientist out there including me will be happy to watch this!
I wonder why they're all dragon related haha
I think it's a tribute to the first algorithm! The first one was called Dragon4 because of the Dragon curve and the folds & peaks in the making of a dragon curve and others followed tradition. :)
Ahh that makes sense! Interesting!
Good job! I never really thought about computers doing floating point math based in binary instead of decimal.....no wonder it always works so weird!!
So excited. I've just run into this and I was so confused!
Love the folded paper representation of dragon f, p, f, p.... makes logical sense - Thank you :)
Technical Support Question: Every time I select 'checkin' in takes me to purchase ticket page and says I already have a ticket....??
I haven't figured out how to check in either!
Wonderful!
This was extremely interesting! It amazing to realize how much more we have left to really learn in this subject.
For Gargi,
I'm surprised that the math was so difficult since the internet starting with sharing scientific papers.
Wow, cool :D
Could Brian give us a few links to start our search for security tools for websites?
Heidi, I love that you entered the computer world through interacting with people.
Loving this topic!
Josh Puetz - loved your presentation.
