Progressive F# Tutorials - New York City 2012 / Adv track - numerical computing

computing numerical

Please RSVP for instructions on how to join the event.

Description

Many developers need to implement solutions which require some math or stat modelling. In this session we will show you how F# allows us to write elegant and expressive numerical code. You will work with matrices, random number generators and linear solvers. We'll start with an overview of F# features which make it ideal for numerical development. Then, in a mixture of demos and exercises, we will implement simple Monte Carlo methods and try to fit linear regression model to a dataset. We will be using FCore math library, which you can download from www.statfactory.co.uk.

Tomas Petricek is a long time F# enthusiast, using F# since the early Microsoft Research versions. He has been a Microsoft C# MVP since 2004, and together with Jon Skeet wrote Real-world Functional Programming which explains basic functional concepts using C# 3.0 (teaching F# alongside) and which shows several appealing real-world uses of F# and functional techniques. He also contributed to the development of F# during two internships at Microsoft Research.

Teaching F#: From numerical expressions to 3D graphics
Online
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
One of the key concepts of functional programming is compositionality – the fact that we can build complex software using several basic “building blocks” and just a few ways of combining them. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how we can teach this concept us...
