This is my personal website. In the future, it may hold information pertaining to certain projects whose progress it would behoove me to document. As of writing this, all of my posts share the category “Mathematics”, which is described below.
Categories
Mathematics
As this tag suggests, posts in this category pertain to math. In particular, it is dedicated to certain non-obvious insights I choose to investigate. Typically, although information about these subjects exists online, it does not exist in a single, easily-accessible source.
I find writing posts of this sort to be an excellent motivator when it comes to researching a topic in which I am interested. It also gives me a chance to learn new tools that otherwise I would not have a reason to use. Furthermore, it is a good exercise to explain my own reasoning and put the effort into creating original figures and visualizations.
An example of this, and one that relates to the creation of the site, is when I was writing the code (which predates the site’s initial inception) for the contents of this post. It was easy enough to learn a library for rendering images (or GIFs), but I was without a gallery to host them, nor a means to share any of the rationale which produced them. In a frenzy, I tried gathering my notes in a single text file before eventually seeing fit to put them on a website of my own, and learned LaTeX along the way to properly typeset the relevant equations.
I do my best to attribute the programs I use and direct sources I consult along the way, but extra information is frequently available on Wikipedia, which I may link to in order to give my explanation some grounding. Unless otherwise stated, the figures and articles in this category are available under CC0, though attribution would be nice.
As a final note, this is in fact the second iteration of this site, as the original 10 or so articles I had written were lost around January 2021. Articles with the “recovered” tag are reconstructions thereof, which date back to October 2020 at the earliest.
