current

Last edited: August 8, 2025

current is defined as the flow of positive charge. Specifically:

\begin{equation} I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} \end{equation}

resistance of a wire

(if ever you come across needing to calculate the resistance of the wire from scratch)

\begin{equation} R = \rho \frac{L}{A} \end{equation}

where, \(\rho\) is the material resistivity, \(L\) the length, and \(A\) the cross-sectional area.

you rarely need to do this!

curse of dimensionality

Last edited: August 8, 2025

The curse of dimensionality is the result of correlatives of the fact that:

at higher dimensions, most random data points become equidistant from each other — you can prove this to yourself pythagoras and some math of expectation

  1. random vectors are almost orthogonal
  2. unit sphere takes almost no volume in unit square (?)
