Unscripted with Mike X Cohen

A recording from The Palindrome live

The Mathematics of Machine Learning book is currently 10% off on Amazon. Get it while the discount lasts.


Hey!

This Monday, we had an exhilarating and unscripted conversation with the legendary

about the meaning of life

  • the role of mathematics in machine learning and data science,

  • leaving research behind to pursue a mission to teach,

  • the problem with textbooks (is that they are written by professors for professors),

  • how to overcome the steep learning curve of math and get started,

  • our creative processes,

  • and how we form mathematical and other creative ideas.

The conversation starts around the 17:00 mark. (We had some technical issues in the beginning.)

Speaking of the creative process: don’t forget to join me tomorrow at 9:00 (CET) for The Palindrome Office Hours live stream! This is going to be a special one, as we’ll live-write the next post of The Palindrome together.

The topic: “Coding on paper”, that is, the infamous practice of doing programming assignments by literally writing down the code by hand with pen and paper. I hated it at the university, but after a decade of teaching, it’s time to reevaluate.

See you tomorrow!

Cheers,
Tivadar
