Why Attention Matters
We start by exploring the concept of attention itself. Understanding where and how to focus is the most critical skill for problem-solving.
An Excursion in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Welcome! This program is designed to give you a taste of how computers are applied in our life and how math is foundational to understand and develop the applications.
A QR code is a real-world example of a matrix. It's a grid of black and white squares, where each square's color can be represented by a number (1 for black, 0 for white). Hover over the QR code below to see the underlying matrix values. Enter a URL to generate a new QR code matrix, then scan it with your smartphone!

Let's look at a complex, real-world problem. Don't worry about solving it yet; the goal is to see the big picture and identify areas of complexity.
To understand images, we need to understand pixels. This module introduces how computers represent colors numerically.
Functions are the building blocks of both math and programming. We'll cover the core concepts of inputs, outputs, and transformations.
Let's make abstract concepts concrete. This interactive game will help solidify your understanding of functions in a fun, hands-on way.
Time to come full circle. With your new knowledge, you'll revisit image compression, analyze its components, and apply what you've learned.
