What's so special about Euler's number e? | Chapter 5, Essence of calculus
Exponentials are special in calculus because their derivatives are proportional to the functions themselves—and the constant of proportionality is...
Backpropagation calculus | Deep Learning Chapter 4
Backpropagation’s calculus boils down to one practical question: how much does the cost change when a single weight or bias nudges a network’s...
e^(iπ) in 3.14 minutes, using dynamics | DE5
The core insight is that the exponential function is uniquely characterized by the rule “rate of change equals the current value,” and swapping the...
Implicit differentiation, what's going on here? | Chapter 6, Essence of calculus
A calculus “weirdness” becomes manageable once tiny changes in two variables are given a geometric meaning: implicit differentiation is really about...
Visualizing the chain rule and product rule | Chapter 4, Essence of calculus
Derivatives of complicated expressions don’t come from memorizing formulas—they come from tracking how tiny input “nudges” propagate through three...
The Most Important Algorithm in Machine Learning
Backpropagation is the shared engine behind modern machine learning: it turns the goal of minimizing prediction error into a practical, efficient...
Backpropagation in CNN | Part 1 | Deep Learning
Backpropagation for a simple CNN is built from a clear chain of derivatives: start with the loss from the final prediction, then push gradients...
Multivariable Calculus 10 | Directional Derivative
Directional derivatives extend partial derivatives by measuring how a multivariable function changes when moving in an arbitrary direction, not just...
Multivariable Calculus 7 | Chain, Sum and Factor rule
Multivariable calculus keeps the same “algebra of derivatives” from one-variable calculus: total differentiation behaves linearly. If two totally...
Multivariable Calculus 9 | Geometric Picture for the Gradient
The gradient’s geometric meaning becomes concrete: whenever a curve stays on a level set (a contour line) of a multivariable function, the gradient...
Multivariable Calculus 21 | Diffeomorphisms
Diffeomorphisms formalize when a change of coordinates is smooth in both directions—meaning a map has a smooth inverse, not just a smooth forward...
Manifolds 24 | Differential in Local Charts [dark version]
The differential on a manifold can be computed in local coordinate charts using the same machinery as multivariable calculus: Jacobian matrices and...
