@El'endiaStarman I definitely recommend looking into SVD/PCA (almost the same), it reall isn't difficult (with some linear algebra). Basically SVD is just another matrix decomposition that let's you do cool stuff, like PCA=)

CMC: approximate a Riemann sum given:
1) code written in your language of choice that takes in a number and returns a number, in the form of either a string or a function named `f`, if the concept of function exists
2) a beginning point (number)
3) an ending point (number)

You may use any form of Riemann sum.

I'm half considering posting it on main. What do people think?

Steven H.

Riemann sum

In mathematics, a Riemann sum is an approximation that takes the form ∑ f ( x ) Δ x {\displaystyle \sum f(x)\Delta x} . It is named after German mathematician Bernhard Riemann. One very common application is approximating the area of functions or lines on a graph, but also the length of curves and other approximations. The sum is calculated by dividing the region up into shapes (rectangles, trapezoids, parabolas, or cubics) that together form a region that is similar to the region being measured, then ...

Imagine an m x n matrix A, as a transformation transforming a n-dimensional hypercube into an m-dimensional parallelepiped. (Or imagine spheres/hyperellipsoids e.t.c). A = U*S*V^t is the decomposition. U and V are orthogonal matrices (U*U^t=I_m, V*V^t = I_n) and S has the same size as A, but S is zero except for the diagonal.

So the values on the diagonal (the *singular values*) are all nonnegative and ordered from the largest to the smallest (by definition). They are almost like eigenvalues but in the direction of the vectors in U/V respectively. The number of nonzero singular values is o…
