Welcome to math club 2023

Welcome to the new 2023 session of math club

We are thinking of structuring it as a monthly reading club. Leaning towards shorter topics (spanning no more than 3 meetings) and using a topic leader to guide the group. We could also invite topic experts to explain their area of knowledge.

• Ada Boost topic Overview of gradient descent An Introduction to the Conjugate Gradient Method Without the Agonizing Pain

• State Space Models An introduction to Sequential Monte Carlo book S4 model that D mentioned from Stanford blog post with code arxiv paper Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics Maybe use [[Pyro]]

• Random walk models

• Differential Geometry

• Time Series and Bayesian Forecasting See [[Orbit]] and this blog post

• Misc topics: Neural Networks, Manifolds, and Topology Real numbers, data science and chaos: How to fit any dataset with a single parameter - Laurent Boue
