The Classics Project explores ancient Greek and Roman civilization. With the lenses of history, anthropology and philosophy we study the Greek and Latin languages and the cultures and civilizations around them.
Together, we'll travel from Athens to Ireland, from the shores of Ithaca to medieval monasteries. On our journey, we will study and learn the foundational languages and ideas of the west writ large - Latin & Ancient Greek.
That task will be accompanied with analysis and readings in the texts of these great civilizations.
In hāc partē Podcastī Latīnī audītōrēs per urbem Pompēiānōrum ambulant: turbam festīnantem vident, actōrēs clārōs exspectant, et Poppaeam cum Lucrione sequuntur. In viā, in villā, et tandem in theātrō, vīta cotīdiāna, clāmor, risus, atque spectaculum prōnōnciantur—dum tota urbs ad theātrum ruit.

#0004 Caput IV: in foro
Hodie in podcastō nostrum Pompēiānās fābulās audīmus. Multae personae “ego sum…” dīcunt et opera sua narrant. Deinde discimus dē Hermogene, mercātōre fallācī, et dē iūdicē quī rem probat. Postrēmō vidēmus Grumiōnem perterritum, quod leōnem in pictūrā videt.
Hic est summārium breve tōtīus podcastī:
Personae Pompēiānae loquuntur: coquus, argentārius, tōnsor, vēnalīcius, poēta, pictor.
Quīntus et Metella interrogant: "quis es tū?", "quid agis?"
Hermogenēs mercātor pecūniam petit, sed Caecilium fallit.
Iūdex in basilicā rem audit et Hermogenem convincit.
Grumiō et leō: Grumiō ebrius pictūram leōnis vīvam putat.

Parātī estis?
Age, incipiamus!

Episode #0004: Activation Functions, Bias and Neural Network Math
In this episode, I ramble on a bit about some of the parts of neural network mathematics, particularly activation functions and bias.
1. Activation Functions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_function (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_function)
I also talk about a book by Jeff Heaton, Introduction to the Math of Neural Networks. It's very short and simple but a nice fast read for a quick introduction to the topic. Check it out if you're interested: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Jeff-Heaton-ebook/dp/B00845UQL6 (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Jeff-Heaton-ebook/dp/B00845UQL6)

Episode #0003: The Conditional Sentence
In this episode we discuss the conditional proposition or the conditional sentence
Topics:
1. What is If P, then Q. (conditional)

3. Truth Table for if P, then Q.
4. Thinking about and conceptualizing the conditional in terms of promises.
5. True & False Examples
6. The Converse
7. The Contrapositive
8. The Equivalence of if P, then Q <=> ~Q, then ~P.

Episode #0001 - Propositions
What is a Proposition?
A statement that can be true of false.
Examples:
sqrt(2) is irrational.
1+1=5
The tiger will become extinct before the Gorilla on the planet Earth.
Socrates was left handed.
Main Points:
Difficulty of establishing the actual (realworld) truth value is unimportant
Some values can be immediately computed as T or F #1 or #2, others may take many years #3 or we may never know #4.
Non-Proposition Examples:
Can you please pass me the Ketchup?
x^2 = 49
This sentence is false.
Main Points:
Interrogative statements are neither T nor F.
#2 may be T or F depending on the value assigned to x.
Neither T nor F - a paradox.
Atomic Propositions - do not contain any other propositions - ex: It is raining.
Compound Propositions - are formed by combining logical connectives with atomic (simple) propositions - ex: I am drinking coffee and its raining outside.
