There are some of you who consider yourself bad at math and would never consider taking a course in calculus. For you, this episode will simply try to explain what in the world calculus is, and why it is even a thing. I have students who listen to this podcast. If you are considering...
The Quantitative Reasoning section is exactly that: areasoningtest. This means you don’t have to worry about advanced calculus, trigonometry, proofs, or really anything that you studied past the third year of high school. The test primarily focuses on arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. ...
specific function). Finally, traditional AI is almost always trained on labeled/categorized data using supervised learning techniques, whereas generative AI must always be trained, at least initially, using unsupervised learning (where data is unlabeled, and the AI software is given no explicit ...
Calculus is a branch of mathematics that explores variables and how they change by looking at them in infinitely small pieces called infinitesimals. Calculus, as it is practiced today, was invented in the 17th century by British scientist Isaac Newton (1642 to 1726) and German scientist Gottfried...

My main position is that that share is larger than what is often recognized in current literature. This paper makes two claims. First, African socie- ties should stop dumping their primary responsibility to protect the human right to health of their own people on rich countries. Doing so is ...
calculusis about measuring and describing change. In the scenario described above, knowing the plane's altitude at a particular moment in time, is equivalent to knowing a single point on the graph of afunction But that isn’t the whole story, is it? There’s the question of what comes ne...
My guest today is Joseph Henrich, a professor at Harvard, and an expert on the evolution of human cooperation and culture. I am a big fan of his book, “The Secret of Our Success” and he just published a new one called the Weirdest People in the World about people who fall under ...
Calculus is a branch of mathematics that involves the study of rates of change. Before calculus was invented, all math was static; it could only help calculate objects that were perfectly still. But the universe is constantly moving and changing. No objects—from the stars in space to subatomi...
