never really liked math because i wanted more. so here's my attempt to do just that.
i want to learn math to be able to understand fourier transforms, hillbert filling curves, and associated ideas.
For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.
600 seems to be the default choice. the 800 has retractrable, but would prefer a fixed
famed rotating lead. the roulette verision looks nice too
best used for kuru toga rotating, but still works for others, esp if manually rotating.
HB hardness rec for maths
need something big and small, the retractable with neat foam eraseer.
want ringed to lay flat, and a dot matrix seems nice
something to hold the easily lost items
can just ssh into ilo lili and get access to sage tool. works super easily
im going to self teach linear algebra. found an open source undergrad book to teach it. slowly working through the examples one at a time, trying to solve before the book explains how. it's linked in the other doc, but i'll put here too for completion

basic ideas here are swapping is totally fine, addition into another row is fine, and multiplying a row by a constant is fine. this seems powerful because it sets up ways to analyze different equations.
has slowed down a lot. still trying to do it a few times a week. things have become increasingly difficult to handle in other aspects of life making maffs study difficult to make time for
about half way through chapter 1 rn
got mech pencil, makes it a lot better. working about an hour or two a night
have decided that I'm doing this only for muirself and don't need to justify learning math to anyone
actually did quite a lot surprising me!!! 7 examples and 1 practice exercise!! getting curious why subtraction would be weird. i guess not too weird since its just multiplied by -1 addition hmmm
