Marimo Workshop + Integrals refresher
Binge watched Essence of Calculus
After digging back into probabilities, I realized how important it was that I not only know integrals and formulas, but also that I completely grok and am able to derive these formulas from first principles. So I re-watched the entire Essence of Calculus series by the incredible 3b1b / Grant Sanderson.
And grokking I did, between the videos and my old high-school and college lessons somewhere hidden deep inside my mind, I feel a renewed understanding of integration, so I wrote notes for the future me that will obviously forget again.
Some more Linear Algebra
Some research into the basics — first principles always wins — led me to learn about Elementary Matrices. I’d never given more thought to Gaussian Elimination that just using the row operations to achieve my goal. But thinking about elementary matrices and their properties, made things like LU decomposition click even more.
Marimo Workshop
To finish off this awesome day of learning, we had a workshop with Vincent Warmerdam from the Marimo team. I love marimo and I loved learning more about it’s capabilities and ways to hack (with / at) it.
