Introduction to LSTM networks

This post is intended as a brief introduction to recurrent neural networks, focusing on long-short term memory cells, for those with a mathematical backgroun...

Elementary Fractional Calculus

In this note we define the fractional derivative \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^\alpha f}{\mathrm{d}x^\alpha}\) of a function \(f\), where \(\alpha\) is allowed to be a...

The Bessel Equation

In this note we investigate series solutions to the Bessel equation \begin{equation} \label{eq:bessel} z^2 u'' + zu' + (z^2 - \nu^2)u = 0 \end{equation} So...

Automorphisms of the Upper Half Plane

In this note we study the group \(\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{H})\) of analytic automorpisms of the upper half plane. We review the usual classification of such au...

Examples of Neural Adaptation

In this note we investigate how the firing rate response of certain neurons adapts to a constant input stimulus. In particular, we look at the neural adaptiv...
