The session explains how momentum accelerates gradient descent, presents the theory of nonlinear conjugate gradients on manifolds, compares several beta‑rule updates, discusses line‑search and preconditioner choices, and shows how to employ the Manopt library for Riemannian optimization without explicit Hessians.
Explores magnetization, magnetic fields, spin angular momentum, and material behavior in magnetic fields, discussing susceptibility, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism.
Covers the evaluation of linear momentum balance in continua, focusing on stress vectors and tensors, and deriving the governing equations for momentum conservation.
