Intro to Neural Networks & Machine Learning

PHYSICS 3G03

I learned about the fundamental concepts and techniques of machine learning. This included  supervised and unsupervised learning, as well as the concepts of overfitting and regularization. I studied the different optimization algorithms used to train neural networks, such as gradient descent and its variants. I also learned about the different types of data preprocessing and feature engineering techniques to prepare data for neural networks. Overall, this course provided me with a solid foundation in the field of machine learning and neural networks, and a good understanding of how to apply these techniques to real-world problems.

Computational
Mechanics

This course help me understand topics such as elasticity, bending moments, shear forces, and flexure on different objects. This was done using the complex algebra system Maple and the finite element method solver FlexPDE.

Analog & Digital
Circuits

In the analog section of the course I learned DC circuit analysis, AC circuit analysis using phasors, filters, and power correction factor. The digital section introduced me to logic design and implementation using logic gates. This was done using the complex algebra system Maple and the circuit simulator Multisim. I also gained practical skills when creating the physical builds of the circuits.

Scientific Computing 

During this course I became familiar with the Linux command kernel while also improving my coding skillset in c/c++. This was delivered through various math concepts that can be applied to real world through physics.

Topic 1 - Mechanics

Sharpened my mechanics by using programs such as Maple, and FlexPDE. This enabled me to better understand each situation.

Topic 2 - Static Equilibrium in 3D and TDM

Explored the theoretical foundation for static equilibrium, torques about different points, force couples and moments. Learned how to solve static equilibrium in 3D.

Topic 3 - Internal Forces and Moments | Normal Elasticity

Developed my understanding of how internal forces are developed from externally applied loads. As well as how normal elasticity deforms objects.

Topic 4 - Shear Forces and Pure-Shear Static Equilibrium

Expanded my knowledge of internal forces with the shear force. Understand how shear force deforms an object and solved pure-shear static equilibrium.

Topic 5 - Flexure and Pure Bending

Developed an understanding for curvature and how different applied forces create internal bending moments. Also was able to simulate and understand situations involving flexural deformation in pure bending.

Topic 6 - Torsion

Completed my understanding of internal forces with torsion and applied shear gradient on a surface that causes torsional deformation. Combined all my previous knowledge and saw deformation of an object with multiple internal forces.
