My friends have been reading my Note on how to get started with Rhinoceros, and since I've received requests to write about ...

An easy-to-use Python interface for forward and backward propagation with derivatives through sixth order, including mixed derivatives. CUDA and CPU backends. Currently, only fully connected ...

A manipulated variable is the variable a researcher deliberately changes, or sets to different levels, to see what effect the change has on an outcome. In an experiment it is the same thing as the ...

A moderating variable is a variable that changes the strength (and sometimes the direction) of the effect of one variable on another. If a tutoring programme raises scores more for one group of ...

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to ...

SMLib is a boundary representation (BRep) solid modeling kernel for NURBS and analytic geometry. It represents solids as collections of topological entities (shells, faces, edges, vertices) bound to ...

Scientific studies, and news coverage about them, often declare that a study “controlled” for certain variables. For example, the Washington Post reported on a study of GLP-1 drugs and a hormonal ...

Zachary Chase, Zach Hunter and I have uploaded to the arXiv our preprint Gilbreath’s conjecture: a Cramér random model and a deterministic analysis. This paper is motivated by a notorious conjecture ...

Debates over how geometry is understood and learned date back at least to the days of Plato, with more recent scholars concluding that only humans possess the foundations of this understanding.

Dependent variables change based on other inputs in financial models, affecting investment outcomes. Independent variables like earnings affect dependent variables, influencing metrics like P/E ratios ...
