1 day ago · A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.
May 2, 2024 · Algebra: The branch of mathematics that substitutes letters for numbers to solve for unknown values. Algorithm: A procedure or set of steps used to solve a mathematical computation. Angle: Two rays sharing the same endpoint (called the angle vertex). Angle Bisector: The line dividing an angle into two equal angles.

1 day ago · e. In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means that the logarithm of a number x to the base b is the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x. For example, since 1000 = 103, the logarithm base of 1000 is 3, or log10 (1000) = 3.
May 5, 2024 · Unfortunately, discussing how a model is trained is actually difficult without using math. What I'm going to do is start by showing you a very simple training approach. Given that the task is to predict tokens that follow other tokens, a simple way to train a model is to get all the pairs of consecutive tokens that appear in the training ...
2 days ago · A conjecture is a mathematical statement that has not yet been rigorously proved. Conjectures arise when one notices a pattern that holds true for many cases. However, just because a pattern holds true for many cases does not mean that the pattern will hold true for all cases. Conjectures must be proved for the mathematical observation to be fully accepted. When a conjecture is rigorously ...
3 days ago · The GIMPS factoring code creates a modified sieve of Eratosthenes with each bit representing a potential 2kp+1 factor. The sieve then eliminates any potential factors that are divisible by prime numbers below 40,000 or so. Also, bits representing potential factors of 3 or 5 mod 8 are cleared.
1 day ago · Lambda calculus. Lambda calculus (also written as λ-calculus) is a formal system in mathematical logic for expressing computation based on function abstraction and application using variable binding and substitution. It is a universal model of computation that can be used to simulate any Turing machine.
