Scientists, educators and engineers not only use programming languages to build software systems, but also in interactive workflows, using the tools available to explore a problem and reason about it…
Care-Jack - Power vest - Each year millions of people within the EU injure themselves in the course of their work due to picking up heavy loads or from one-sided movements – ending up with serious health issues. Together with the industry, Fraunhofer researchers are developing a vest designed to take the burden off caregivers and others with physically demanding jobs.
When I was in fifth grade, my Dad helped me build a homemade costume so I could go as a Borg from Star Trek for Halloween. Everyone in class asked me, “What are you?” and I said, “I’m a Borg. From…

Seven years ago, the combined wealth of 388 billionaires equaled that of the poorest half of humanity, according to Oxfam International. This past January the equation was even more unbalanced: it took only eight billionaires, marking an unmistakable march toward increased concentration of wealth. Today that number has been reduced to five billionaires. Trying to understand such growing inequality is usually the purview of economists, but Bruce Boghosian, a professor of mathematics, thinks he has found another explanation—and a warning.
The CS Education Library project at Stanford is an online library which collects and organizes computer science education materials, and gives them away for free.
What are Convolutional Neural Networks and why are they important? Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets or CNNs) are a category of Neural Networks that have proven very effective in areas such as image recognition and classification. ConvNets have been successful in identifying faces, objects and traffic signs apart from powering vision in robots and self driving cars. Figure 1:…
Reading an electrical schematic is an important skill. In this blog post you'll learn common electronic component symbols and how to understand schematics.
Powers of Ten takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of t...
I’m taking a break from my discussion on asyncio in Python to talk about something that has been on my mind recently: the speed of Python. For those who don’t know, I am somewhat of a Python fanboy…
What is modeling instruction? Instead of relying on lectures and textbooks, the Modeling Instruction program emphasizes active student construction of conceptual and mathematical models in an interactive learning community. Students are engaged with simple scenarios to learn to model the physical world. Find a Modeling Workshop in your area this summer! Modeling Instruction in the…
Update on December 8, 2015. An updated version of this post is available at Python Is Not C: Take Two . I have been using Python a lot lately, for various data science projects. Python is known for its ease of use. Someone with coding experience can use it effectively in few days. This sounds good but there may be an issue if you program in Python as you would in another language, say C. Let me give an example based on my own experience. I have a strong background with imperative languages like C and C++. I also have substantial experience with oldies but goodies like Lisp and Prolog. I also used...
It can be fun to watch a bartender carefully adding a litany of ingredients to a mixing glass: layers of different spirits, unusual liqueurs, custom tinctures, bizarre bitters. At home, though, most of us want a drink we can assemble with what we've got on hand; nothing that takes an overnight infusion or 12 different bottles. Here are 35 cocktail recipes that only require three ingredients or fewer.

The impasse in math and science instruction runs deeper than test scores or the latest educational theory. What can we learn from the best teachers on the front
You can find anything and everything on the internet, yet nothing that explains how to track cell phones. Let us clarify right away, we are not talking about how to track your own cell phone in case it's lost or stolen. We are talking about tracking everyone that lives, breathes and wears a cell phone.…
In the previous post on Support Vector Machines (SVM), we looked at the mathematical details of the algorithm. In this post, I will be discussing the practical implementations of SVM for classification as well as regression. I will be using the iris dataset as an example for the classification problem, and a randomly generated data as an example for the regression problem.
