Mathematical Thinking in Computing
Prof. Y.C. TayNational University of Singapore 下午 3:30–5:00 鴻經館 107 室Abstract：
Across the world, governments are pushing computer programming on younger pupils. How is a mathematical education relevant to the increasing number of students who are writing code? This talk illustrates the relevance with some concepts (structures, functions) and habits (examples, reductions) that students pick up from the mathematics that they learn. These illustrations are drawn from language translation with vector spaces, deep learning in AlphaGo, the resources needed by any artificial intelligence, and the intractabilities and impossibilities that limit computation.
