Hajime Algorithm - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Hajime's Beginnings

This looks cool

 

[damiester]

Dealing with the topic of autism huh. This author's brave.

 

[EzWeeb]

I'm something of a mathematician my self

 

[Refure]

I will make you... into the strongest mathematician

Glad to see that someone will translate Juuza no Ulna

 

[saenahonce]

Thank you for translating. Not to be a nazi grammar, but there are a few “it’s” on the first page that should be “its”.

Edit: Can someone do an ELI5 for the joke on the last page?

It's a play on words. Banana. Banach space.
If you are asking what is the Banach space, I can't help you haha.

@damiester Looking at the raws, Hajime doesn't seem to be autistic. He just looks that way in this first chapter because he's self-absorbed and Yutaka is behaving like a total pedo creepy old man.

@barc @saenahonce A Banach Space is a vector space (hence linear) that has a norm and is complete. Having a norm generalises the idea of "length" to arbitrary spaces. Completeness here means complete in the Cauchy sense, i.e. every limit point of a Cauchy sequence is present in the space. Very roughly, it means that there are no points missing from the space - If you can build a sequence getting arbitrarily close to some point x, then x is present in that space. Standard examples of a complete space being real numbers, and of an incomplete space being rational numbers.

i fuking hate algorithm and numerical methods subject

 

[saenahonce]

@ThreeTimesFaster Haha thanks! I think I understand somewhat. Your explanation was perfect.

A. M. Turing had a habit of looking at the patterning of daisy heads as a child, which in my opinion is akin to Hajime's observational behaviour. Though I suppose the author probably didn't draw inspiration from this. Turing did eventually move onto studying the mathematical descriptions of the biological world later in his life, which sadly was overshadowed by Francis and Crick' discovery of the DNA.

 

[Laudulal]

Finally one for the nerds, thanks for picking this up!

Even though most of the higher-level math will go over my head, I will follow this in spite of that.
