Today I learned that fuzzy logic came to be thanks to an Iranian scientist, Lotfi A. Zadeh. Fuzzy mathematics play an important role in so many appliances and new tech, including your rice cooker and the AI you use daily.
Fuzzy logic allows computers to work with a degrees of truth rather than 1/0 or true/false. Fuzzy mathematics added a little humanity to our machines.
Think about it! We say the weather is warm, really hot, kind of cool, extremely cold, ETC. There's no just hot/cold. Machines can understand this using the fuzzy logic.
In simpler words, fuzzy logic is designed to mimic human reasoning by handling imprecise information.
I am proud of my country and my people, but I should emphasize that my current government is definitely not my people.

#OTD in 1843.

William Rowan Hamilton invents quaternions, a 3D system of complex numbers.

Important precursors to this work included Euler's four-square identity (1748) & Olinde Rodrigues' parameterization of general rotations by 4 parameters (1840), but neither of these writers treated the four-parameter rotations as an algebra. Carl Friedrich Gauss had discovered quaternions in 1819, but this work was not published until 1900.

Portrait of Sir William Rowan Hamilton. In the image, Hamilton is shown as a mature man with a thoughtful, introspective demeanor. His face is marked by high cheekbones, a prominent brow, and deep-set eyes that reflect intellectual depth. His hair, typically dark and wavy, is styled neatly, though in some versions of his portraits it appears slightly receding, signaling the passage of time. His expression is serious, with a slight furrow in his brow, indicative of his deep intellectual pursuits.

Klára Dán von Neumann died #OTD in 1963.

Hungarian mathematician, self-taught engineer and computer scientist, noted as one of the first computer programmers. She was the first woman to execute modern-style code on a computer. Klára made significant contributions to the world of programming, including work on the Monte Carlo method, ENIAC, and MANIAC I. She was introduced to a lot of her work through her husband, John von Neumann. via @wikipedia

I made a post on my (rarely used) blog thinking about my pursuit of higher mathematics and about how/where to apply for grad schools. I would love some advice from those who have pursued their love for Mathematics and it's application in other fields in grad school! I have some concerns and I feel very stuck.

Thinking About Grad School & Math (Help Wanted)

I have been wanting to apply for grad school for a long time, but as the mathematically obsessed person I am feels frozen trying to find direction and suitable programs to apply to.

New on mastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm eqyo from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, I'm in my twenties and studying #mathematics & #computerscience. I am also: a semi-agnostic churchgoer ⛪, not exactly straight but still figuring things out 🏳️‍🌈, and very much into #classicalmusic 🎻.
(Expect the frequency of emojis and hashtags to drop drastically after this post)
I see myself posting about my life, about #philosophy & #politics, maybe about some #foss-related stuff...
