Mathematics behind ChatGPT: A thread
Ever wondered about the mathematics behind our favourite AI chatbot, ChatGPT? Strap in for a journey into a world where linear algebra meets language and transforms into conversational wizardry! (1/10) #ChatGPTtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
GPT-4, the technology behind ChatGPT, is a "transformer" model. These transformers deal with vectors, a concept from linear algebra. Imagine each word as a point in space, with relationships to other words creating a vast language cosmos. (2/10)
Each word is represented as a high-dimensional vector (think of it as its address in language space). The process, known as embedding, helps the model grasp semantic meanings. It's like your words get to live in their own funky universe!(3/10)
As your guide into the realm of #VedicMathematics, I invite you to explore this ancient Indian practice. These 16 Sanskrit Sutras will unravel an intuitive & entertaining approach to math. Get ready for a Math Adventure that turns numbers into fun?

Vedic Maths is not just about mathematical techniques, but about changing the way we approach problems. It's about growing our minds to see patterns, possibilities, and joy in numbers!(2/20)
The first Sutra is 'Ekadhikena Purvena'. In English, it means "By one more than the previous one". It's used in cases where you need to multiply numbers that end with 5. It's like a magic trick. Multiply 25 by 25 in a split second! (3/20)

In response to the numerous requests from people asking for guidance on Linear Algebra resources, I've curated this thread to highlight some of the standout books on the topic that can assist you in honing your expertise.(1/9) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"Elementary Linear Algebra" by Howard Anton: Provides a comprehensive introduction to the basics with accessible explanations and plenty of exercises.(2/9)
"Linear Algebra Done Right" by Sheldon Axler: Offers a unique approach that avoids the use of determinants until later. A great choice for a different perspective.(3/9)
Remembering #Ramanujan: An extraordinary mind:
It was exactly 103 years ago (26th April 1920)on this very day, at around 10:30 am, when the brilliant Srinivasa Ramanujan took his final breath in a bungalow behind Pachaiyappa's College in Chennai. (1/5)
In those heartbreaking final days of April 1920, every effort was made to provide him with the best medical care possible. Even though Ramanujan left us far too soon, his spirit continues to live on, touching our hearts through the immense impact of his mathematical genius. (2/5)
For almost a century, Ramanujan has been a beacon of inspiration for so many, from young boys gazing at the stars to seasoned researchers pushing the boundaries of knowledge. His awe-inspiring achievements in (3/5)
The significance of #mathematics in #cryptography is immense. 𝐂𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲 involves the process of transforming messages to ensure secure communication. In this thread, we'll explore the integral role of math within cryptography & present some relevant equations (1/9)
One of the simplest examples of cryptography is the Caesar cipher, which shifts the letters of the alphabet by a fixed number. The encryption function can be written as: E(x) = (x + k) mod 26, where x is the letter's position, k is the shift, and mod is the modulo operation.(2/9)
Public-key cryptography is a more advanced technique that relies on mathematical concepts. RSA, a widely-used public-key cryptosystem, involves the generation of two large prime numbers, p and q. Their product, n = p * q, is used in encryption and decryption.(3/9)

Mantra: Absolute Reality is infinite and whole
This is my interpretation.
[Please retweet] 1/n
That shanti-mantra is from the Hindu scripture, the 'ishopanishad', and is known as the 'Purnamadah Mantra'. It is a beautiful and profound expression of the concept of infinity or the absolute reality, also known as Brahman, in Hindu philosophy.
2/n
The mantra states that the Absolute Reality is infinite and whole - "Om, That is infinity, This is infinity; From is infinity; from that infinity, this infinity comes. From That infinity, this infinity is removed or added; infinity remains infinite."
