Concepts
Fourier Series
Fourier series represents periodic functions as infinite sums of sines and cosines. Any periodic function can be decomposed into oscillatory components.
Differential Equations
A differential equation relates an unknown function to its derivatives. It's a fundamental tool for modeling physical phenomena.
Complex Analysis Basics
Complex analysis studies calculus of complex-valued functions. Analytic functions are differentiable and have beautiful properties.
Game Theory
Game theory mathematically analyzes strategic interactions. It predicts outcomes when players act rationally.
Mathematics of Cryptography
Cryptography uses mathematical techniques for secure communication. It's based on number theory, algebra, and complexity theory.
Laplace Transform
Transforms time-domain functions to frequency domain, converting differential equations to algebraic equations.
Gradient Descent
An optimization algorithm that iteratively moves in the opposite direction of the gradient to find the minimum.
Newton-Raphson Method
A numerical method to iteratively approximate roots of equations using tangent lines.
Linear Programming
A mathematical method to optimize a linear objective function subject to linear constraints.
