  • A quick note about eigenvalues

    Intro I finally passed the last semester of the Master degree I’m taking (slowly, but with much pleasure). One of the last things I learned was about a practical application of Eigenvalues, in context of  Spectral Decomposition of Adjacency Matrices… Big words all of them, but let’s just say it’s a valuable thing for studying…

  • Learning Cybernetics: Working on Ashby’s Transformation Matrices

    Intro I really do not have that much spare time, but I also really wanted to learn more about “Cybernetics”. So I bought (yet another) book, a classic in this case (I think it was first edited in 1956): “An Introduction to Cybernetics”, by W. Ross Ashby (“Ashby” from now on for short). So far,…

  • Simulation: Monte-Carlo & Input Distributions (1/n)

    Intro First, let me say, I know, it’s been a while. And that’s alright. I have plenty of good excuses 🙂 Now that doesn’t mean I should completely forget about this my little Blog. OK, so, for today: I’ve been studying Operations Research for about 3 months now, and we’re getting (in the Master course)…
