Euler Project: Problem 10 – Python

This weeks covering of the Euler Project: Problem 10 Asks us to simply: Find the sum of all primes below 2 million. Were going to take almost the entire solution for this from our solution to problem 7, where we start out with a generator function to produce our prime numbers, and then use a [...]

Euler Project: Problem 9 – Python

The Euler Project has been a fun way to examine how well we know our programming language of choice. Today we’re covering problem 9 which reads as follows: A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a < b < c, for which, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 For example, 3^2 + 4^2 [...]

Euler Project: Problem 8 – Python

Hello and welcome to our discussion on Euler Project Problem 8. Problem 8 asks us to find the greatest product of five consecutive digits in the 1000-digit number below: 7316717653133062491922511967442657474235534919493 4969835203127745063262395783180169848018694788518 4385861560789112949495459501737958331952853208805 5111254069874715852386305071569329096329522744304 3557668966489504452445231617318564030987111217223 8311362229893423380308135336276614282806444486645 2387493035890729629049156044077239071381051585930 7960866701724271218839987979087922749219016997208 8809377665727333001053367881220235421809751254540 5947522435258490771167055601360483958644670632441 5722155397536978179778461740649551492908625693219 7846862248283972241375657056057490261407972968652 4145351004748216637048440319989000889524345065854 1227588666881164271714799244429282308634656748139 1912316282458617866458359124566529476545682848912 8831426076900422421902267105562632111110937054421 7506941658960408071984038509624554443629812309878 7992724428490918884580156166097919133875499200524 0636899125607176060588611646710940507754100225698 3155200055935729725716362695618826704282524836008 23257530420752963450 Simple enough, were just gonna [...]

Euler Project: Problem 7 – Python

Welcome to this installment of the Euler Project in python. Today we cover problem 7 which asks this question: By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13. What is the 10,001st prime number? For this one we’ll create a prime [...]

Stanford Distributed Learning Artificial Intelligence Course

That’s right Stanford University is offering a free distributed learning class on artificial intelligence this fall. Check it out here. It’s based on the Stanford CS221 AI class, but offered through video lecture and forum discussion. There are two choices in terms of level of class, basic and advanced. The advanced version has you turn [...]

Euler Project: Problem 6 – Python

Today’s coverage of the Euler Project looks at problem 6. This is a simple and sweet solution, meaning a short post, meaning less of that magical insight that we strive so hard to provide. Problem 6 of Euler Project asks the following: The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is: 12 [...]

Euler Project: Problem 5 – Python

Welcome to our discussion of Problem 5 of the Euler project. The Euler Project has been an interesting way to explore our understandings of the coding languages we thought we knew so well. Problem 5 inquires the following: 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to [...]

Euler Project: Problem 4 – Python

Today we are covering the Euler Project problem 4. See it in its full glory here. While you’re there sign up and get started! Problem four poses this question: A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99. Find [...]

Euler Project: Problem 3 – Python

Today we are covering Problem 3 of the Euler Project found here.The question goes as such: The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29. What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143? This is an interesting one, I started with the sieve of Eratosthenes, and saved it as it works [...]

Vincent van Gogh Comes to Denver

Having our base be here in Denver, most of our gallery reviews will be local. If you are interested in contributing show reviews to the site, please leave a comment and we’ll set something up for you to do that. This isn’t a review… yet… just spreading the word that the show, called “Becoming Van [...]
