Math Acceleration
I recently posted a video playlist simplifying statistics for non-math majors. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXCDMNgGQVJUHxZghu6QMxbGzHKvUJJaZ More importantly, however, is the exciting trend happening in engineering today; that of math acceleration . This trend involves computer chips specifically designed to speed up simple math calculations, such as the ones described in the Statistics videos. What is particularly exciting is the fact that these same chips can also accelerate math calculations for other uses. Applications such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) are also moving forwards quickly thanks to these devices. Video 6 from the aforementioned statistics playlist has a short discussion of these applications, as well as specifics regarding a nifty product from NVIDIA (a chip manufacturer) called the Jetson Nano. This is a small computer that fits in the palm of your hand, but besides a conventional computer central proce...
