The principal innovative idea in this paper is to transform the original complex nonlinear modeling problem into a combination of linear problem and very simple nonlinear problems. The key step is the generalized linearization of nonlinear…
As soon as a new technology emerges, the education community explores its affordances and the possibilities to apply it in education. In this paper, we analyze sessions with ChatGPT around topics in basic Linear Algebra. We reflect the…
Despite the phenomenal success of deep learning in recent years, there remains a gap in understanding the fundamental mechanics of neural nets. More research is focussed on handcrafting complex and larger networks, and the design decisions…
A new generation of educational mathematics software is being shaped in ThEdu and other academic communities on the side of computer mathematics. Respective concepts and technologies have been clarified to an extent, which calls for…
This article has one single purpose: introduce a new and simple, yet highly insightful approach to capture, fully and quantitatively, the dynamics of the circular flow of income in economies. The proposed approach relies mostly on basic…
In this paper we investigate two logics from an algebraic point of view. The two logics are: MALL (multiplicative-additive Linear Logic) and LL (classical Linear Logic). Both logics turn out to be strongly algebraizable in the sense of Blok…
First, we study the linear equations in general. Second, we focus our attention in periodic sequences over finite fields and de Bruijn directed graph.
Starting from the well-known and elementary problem of inscribing the rectangle of the greatest area in an ellipse, we look at possible, gradually more and more complicated variants of this problem. Our goal is to demonstrate to an average…
Large Language Models are increasingly used by students to explore advanced material in computer science, including graph theory. As these tools become integrated into undergraduate and graduate coursework, it is important to understand how…
This note recapitulates and expands the contents of a tutorial on the mathematical theory of algebraic effects and handlers which I gave at the Dagstuhl seminar 18172 "Algebraic effect handlers go mainstream". It is targeted roughly at the…
Here we briefly describe some topics along the lines of projective spaces and related geometric constructions connected to linear algebra, which provide fundamental examples in classical geometry and analysis.
This text is a support for different courses of the master of Mechanics of the University Paris-Saclay. The content of this text is an introduction, for graduate students, to tensor algebra and analysis. Far from being exhaustive, the text…
This paper provides an introduction to trace diagrams at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates. Trace diagrams are a non-traditional notation for linear algebra. Vectors are represented by edges in a diagram, and matrices by markings…
Academic challenges comprise effective means for (i) advancing the state of the art, (ii) putting in the spotlight of a scientific community specific topics and problems, as well as (iii) closing the gap for under represented communities in…
This article reviews the current state of teaching and learning mathematical modeling in the context of sustainable development goals for education at the tertiary level. While ample research on mathematical modeling education and published…
Various fields of science and engineering rely on linear algebra for large scale data analysis, modeling and simulation, machine learning, and other applied problems. Linear algebra computations often dominate the execution time of such…
