Thanks for the refreshing reminder.
This was one of my favourite topic at school but ended never used it in professional environment. However , I will definitely review the theory. Banach spaces and fix theorem were kind useful definition/tool but I always struggled to understand practical applications.
Thanks for sharing the article

Agreed, very cool article.
> I always struggled to understand practical applications.
Me too...and specifically with non-smooth dynamical systems. I always felt some better knowledge or intuition on my part could lead to understanding the practical application.
It's one reason I left academia... wtf this is cool, but wtf is this useful for?
The closest practical application I can fathom in this theoretical realm is optimization. And welp, since that underlies all AI, that's pretty important. Oh and cryptography.

I was pretty sure the "dynamic" in "dynamic programming" was used as a synonym for "awesome" and had nothing to do with system dynamics.
