Abstract:
This talk will cover the mathematics that is needed for a modern undergraduate curreculum in computer science along with some examples motivating it. I will talk about high dimensional space and why understanding the central limit theorem arises along with dimension reduction by random projection. Some other topics will be random graphs, singular value decompositon, Markov chains, clustering, VC dimension and sparse vectors. The emphasis will be on the view point that is important for students not in mathematics but who encounter these topics in the work.
