Mar 12

Hey friends & nerds! 👋

Welcome to the Sunday Science Newsletter where we explore science, systems & tools that help us become smarter scientists.

💡 Introduction to the Finite Element Method (Coding)

This repository contains teaching resources for an introductory course on Finite Element Analysis. The course emphasizes on the solution, through finite element algorithms, of the theory of elasticity boundary value problem. It combines theoretical aspects and computational implementations in Python.

Automated Machine Learning in Action

Buy Now

Automated Machine Learning in Action reveals how you can automate the burdensome elements of designing and tuning your machine learning systems. It’s written in a math-lite and accessible style, and filled with hands-on examples for applying AutoML techniques to every stage of a pipeline. AutoML can even be implemented by machine learning novices! If you’re new to ML, you’ll appreciate how the book primes you on machine learning basics. Experienced practitioners will love learning how automated tools like AutoKeras and KerasTuner can create pipelines that automatically select the best approach for your task, or tune any customized search space with user-defined hyperparameters, which removes the burden of manual tuning.

💻 App of the Week – Rize (MacOS)

I’ve been using Rize for ~2 weeks now and it’s by far one of the best designed, most useful apps on Mac that help me spend my time more intentional and reflect after each day where I could spend less time such as meetings or wasting time on social media.
