There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. HOW CAN MATHS SOLVE REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES? There are so many applications of math!” Math really is everywhere!” If you know math, it gives you incredible power to contribute to all kinds of fields.”. says Zach. “If

I could write down equations and do math. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. It wasn’t something one could readily see with math. But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field.

He’s writing a paper, he says, basically to clarify the Second Law, (or, as he calls it, “the second fundamental theorem”—rather confidently asserting that he will “prove this theorem”): Part of the issue he’s trying to address is how the calculus is done: The partial derivative symbol ∂ had been introduced in the late 1700s.

It’s not obvious that it would be feasible to find the path of the steepest descent on the “weight landscape” But calculus comes to the rescue. It turns out that the chain rule of calculus in effect lets us “unravel” the operations done by successive layers in the neural net.

How Math Relates to Humans. And if we’re going to make a “general theory of mathematics” a first step is to do something like we’d typically do in natural science, and try to “drill down” to find a uniform underlying model—or at least representation—for all of them. 22 Going below Axiomatic Mathematics.
