I came across the integral a few days ago. Pretty interesting, many ways to solve this integral, be it graphically or by substitution. ? Answer: Hint: Consider the graph of , it should give a [...]

Since many students were asking, I thought I’ll roughly explain the bell curve and its distribution properties. Before that, I thought I should mention that I’m not really sure myself [...]

Heard of Skewes’ Number? It is the number above which must fail (assuming that the Riemann hypothesis is true), where is the prime counting function and is the logarithmic integral. Isaac [...]

As some of my closer students know, my brother is a web developer (I think that is the best I can do to introduce his job). And yes, you might have guessed that he is also the creator of this [...]

Past couple of weeks, I’ve been really busy with preparation for A-levels. Over the weekends, I had enough time to spare to read up a bit on object-oriented programming while doing my [...]

Some of you will probably hear of this two terms and wonder what’s the difference. Both of them are a statistical approach/ inference method. Personally, I am a Bayesian and use more of [...]

Today, we shall look at a really brief idea of Real Business Cycle (RBC) Theory. I decided to touch a bit on this, since some students have asked me about financial mathematics and mathematical [...]

During class, I occasionally mention to students that the calculus you learnt is deterministic and they go uh huh. So like what is non deterministic?! I’ll attempt to give some simple [...]

I’ve been playing around with Python these days, and even participate in an online course with Coursera. I’ve previously shared that Python is a good starting point for any student [...]

I’ve come across many questions from students regarding complex numbers, and here is one thats quite fun to deal with! Now this is really interesting, but can be solved with a bit of [...]
