Making Heads or Tails out of Recursion and Combinatorial Math

2017-11-09 programming math python
GNU — GNU’s Not Unix I thought I’d take a look at two topics at once and make some fun by mashing them together. Today’s topic is recursion. In computer science (and in math, although we call the equation a recurrence relation) recursion is an often misunderstood concept causing lots of panic and anxiety. In reality - it’s pretty easy once you wrap you head around the idiom. What is recursion? Continue reading

Getting Visual With It

Time to Get Vizzy With It! Like Will says: Gettin vizzy wit it Na na na na na na na nana Na na na na nana Gettin vizzy wit it… Plot thickens Time to turn on the lights and see what our data objects look like when we turn them into visualized plots. Sure, we can use the print function to see the numbers within our numpy objects. Better yet, let’s turn our objects into pretty graphical images. Continue reading

Best known for his Fibonacci Sequence which seemingly is simple to define, yet it’s limit point (of the ratio of the last two elements of the sequence) (also known as the Greek letter Phi). The mysticism around the Golden ratio abounds due to its correlation with many natural element - both living things as well as dynamic processes. Continue reading
