Five versions of the talk — different themes, same mathematical story
Beamer LaTeX DecksHow Dead Mathematicians Accidentally Built AI
A mystery-investigation framing where AI is the crime, mathematicians are the suspects, and the audience plays detective. Features progressive reveal animations, suspect profiles with historical portraits, and a 5-act structure (Crime Scene, Cold Cases, Evidence Room, Revelation, Case Continues).
From Classical Mathematics to Large Language Models
The five mathematical pillars of AI — Linear Algebra, Probability, Calculus, Information Theory, and Optimization — traced from ancient history to the LLMs on your phone. Includes an LLM token processing pipeline diagram, 4 interactive demo slides (3Blue1Brown, Transformer Explainer, Bycroft 3D, AnimatedLLM), and a 2000-year mathematical timeline.
UAE Mathematics Conference 2026
Same Five Pillars content adapted for the UAE Mathematics Conference. Light theme with warm accents, local hooks (Dubai’s autonomous metro, Abu Dhabi’s Falcon LLM), consolidated demo slides, and the full Five Pillars temple infographic with embedded pipeline diagram.
From Your Morning Coffee to Your Credit Score
The full website content as a 60-minute extended presentation. Six acts: The Hook, The Building Blocks (2000 years of math history — 5 threads tracing Linear Algebra, Probability, Calculus, Information Theory, and Optimization from origin to LLM), The Pattern Engine (fraud detection, Bayes 4.7%), Predictions & Decisions (credit scoring, recommendations), The Bigger Picture (8 LLM stories, ethics), and Your Future. BankBot’s 8-stage journey, 3 interactive exercises, and all 7+ formulas. Act 2 is skippable for a 45-minute version.
Curated 30-Slide Version with Persistent TOC
The essential 30 slides distilled from the 76-slide extended version. Narrative: “One Question, Five Answers, One Machine.” Persistent TOC sidebar on every slide shows your position in the journey. Five mathematical threads (Linear Algebra, Probability, Calculus, Information Theory, Optimization) traced from ancient origins to the Transformer. Each slide has an explicit Goal and Aim. Includes Spot the Fraud and USE IT/SKIP IT interactive exercises.
