Past examples include describing how the Riemann Zeta function relates to primes, describing the Laplace transform, describing the beta distribution in probability, etc. The list, to my embarrassm3Blue1BrownPost · 2 months ago
Pop quiz time! Try to answer without looking it up.
Suppose I have a mystery function, and I tell you that there’s some secret value among all the numbers from 1 to N, where if you plug that value into my function, it returns True, otherwise, it returns false. For example, maybe it simply looks something like "f(n): return (n == 123)". But you can't see the inside of the function; it's a black box.
How long does it take to find this secret value? For a classical computer, there's no better method than3Blue1BrownPost · 3 months ago
