What: Articles on physics, mathematics, and computer science.
Why: Lots of interesting work in science does not merit a full research paper but still deserves some sort of public discussion. These posts comprise that gap.
How: I hope to write these posts in a way that at least something could be learned from them by anyone, but most of them will presume an undergrad knowledge in physics and mathematics. When possible, I’ll try to include links to pre-requisites for the post.
