Next, we'll create a neural network using Keras, followed by an introduction to TensorFlow and TensorBoard. For best results, familiarity with basic vectors and matrices, inner (aka "dot") products of vectors, and rudimentary Python is definitely helpful. If time permits, we'll look at the UAT, CLT, and the Fixed Point Theorem. (Bonus points if you know Zorn's Lemma, the Well-Ordering Theorem, and the Axiom of Choice.) Oswald's Bio: Oswald Campesato is an education junkie: a former Ph.D. Candidate in Mathematics (ABD), with multiple Master's and 2 Bachelor's degrees. In a previous career, he worked in South America, Italy, and the French Riviera, which enabled him to travel to 70 countries throughout the world. He has worked in American and Japanese corporations and start-ups, as C/C++ and Java developer to CTO. He works in the web and mobile space, conducts training sessions in Android, Java, Angular 2, and ReactJS, and he writes graphics code for fun. He's comfortable in four languages and aspires to become proficient in Japanese, ideally sometime in the next two decades. He enjoys collaborating with people who share his passion for learning the latest cool stuff, and he's currently working on his 15th book, which is about Angular 2. |
