Geometric mean on unit circle
Warm up The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product. For example, the geometric mean of 9 and 25 is 15. More generally, the geometric mean of a set of n numbers is the nth root of their product. Alternatively, the geometric mean of a

Read moreUniversal implementation of BFS, DFS, Dijkstra and A-Star algorithms
It turns out that well-known algorithms like BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, and A-Star are essentially variations of the same algorithm.In other words, it is possible to implement a universal data structure that can switch between these algorithms without requiring changes to its core components. While there are some limitations to consider,

Chrome 117 went stable this past week. There is a website where you can see what the plan is for Chrome releases, by the way, which is handy when you care about such things. Chrome releases a major version about once a month, and I usually don’t feel ultra compelled
Read moreGauss map, Euclidean algorithm, and continued fractions
The Gauss map [1] is the function where ⌊y⌋ is the floor of y, the greatest integer no larger than y. I’ve written about this map a couple times before. First, I wrote about how this map is measure-preserving. Second, I wrote about the image at the top of the

The goal of this post is to unpack a remark in [1]: … we can say this in fancier terms. Fix a field k …. We say that an elliptic curve E defined over k is that functor which … Well that is fancy. But what does it mean? Looking
