+# Typical Workflow
+Running a task is generally done by:
+1. *Define a job specification for your task(s):* it'll contain info like where the workload artifact is located, ports used by the service, the number of instances desired, and more.
+2. *Deploying the job*: The jobspec is submitted to Nomad and it schedules an allocation for the job on one or more clients.
+3. Updating and redploying the job.

+
+Answer:
+All of them are legal and will compile and run. (c) and (d) are what I would consider bad practice because they perform an implicit conversion from a double to an int, and should include an explicit cast.
+
+> 8. Which of the following would be valid prototypes for a function that returns nothing and has one double parameter?
+
+Answer:
+(a) and (b).
+Parameters must contain a type annotation but they do not need to specify a name. A function prototype declaration must specify a return type.
+

+```c
+#include <stdio.h>
+
+void swap (int a, int b);
+
+int main(void)
+{
+    int i = 1, j = 2;

+}
+
+void swap(int a, int b)
+{
+    int temp = a;
+    a = b;
+    b = temp;
+}
+
+```
+
+Answer:
+```
+i = 1, j = 2
+```
+Because function parameters are passed by value and not reference in C, modifications to `a` and `b` are limited to the scope of `swap`.

+# Carry-Select Adder
+A carry select adder is built using two ripple carry adders, and multiplexing them together based off of the value of $c_{in}$. This is done for performance reasons, because when adding two numbers $x$ and $y$, we know $x$ and $y$ *before* we know the value of $c_{in}$. This means we can compute what the output of $x + y + c_{in}$ would be for $c_{in} = 0$ and $c_{in} = 1$ at the same time, then just toggle between the two possible values given the *actual* value of $c_{in}$.
+
+The delay is calculated like so:
+1. Given the delay of a full adder is $k$, and the delay of a 2 to 1 mux is $\frac{1}{m}k$,
+2. then the delay of a 4 bit ripple carry adder is $4k$, because it's 4 full adders chained together, running sequentially.
+3. This means that the delay of a 4 bit carry select adder is $4k + \frac{k}{m}$

+# Synthesis
+In the context of binary logic, synthesis refers to the act of creating a boolean expression that evaluates to match a given truth table. 
+
+This is done by creating a product term for each entry in the table that has an output of $1$, that also evaluates to $1$, then ORing each product term together and then simplifying.
+
+Example:
+
+Given the below truth table, synthesize a boolean expression that corresponds.
+
+| $x_1$ | $x_2$ | $f(x_1, x_2)$ |
+| ----- | ----- | ------------- |
+| 0     | 0     | 1             |
+| 0     | 1     | 1             |
+| 1     | 0     | 0             |
+| 1     | 1     | 1             |
+- $f(0, 0)$ evaluates to true with the expression $\overline{x}_1 \cdot \overline{x}_2$ 
+- $f(0, 1)$ evaluates to true with the expression $\overline{x}_1\cdot x_2$ 
+- $f(1, 0)$ should provide an output of zero, so that can be ignored
+- $f(1, 1)$ evaluates to true with the expression $x_1 \cdot x_2$
+ORing all of the above expression together, we get:
+$$ f(x_1, x_2) = \overline{x}_1\overline{x}_2 + \overline{x}_1 x_2 + x_1x_2 $$
+$$
+\begin{multline}
+= x_1x_2 \\

+In base 10, a value is expressed by an n-tuple with n digits
+$$ D = d_{n-1}d_{n-2} \cdots d_1 d_0 $$
+This represents the value
+$$ V(D) = d_{n-1} * 10^{n-1} + d_{n - 2} * 10^{n-2} + \cdots + d_1 * 10^1 + d_0 * 10^0 $$
+In a binary or base 2 number system, each digit can be a zero or one, called a *bit*. 
+$$ D = d_{n-1}d_{n-2} \cdots d_1 d_0 $$
+To determine the integer value, a very similar formula can be used.
+$$ V(B) = b_{n-1} * 2^{n-1} + b_{n-2} * 2^{n-2} \cdots b_{1} * 2^1 + b_0 * 2^0 $$This formula can be generalized as:
+*For radix $r$*:
+$$ k = k_{n-1} k_{n-2} \cdots k_1 k_0$$
+- The base of a number is often notated in the format of $(n)_b$, EG a base 10 number might be $(14)_{10}$, and a binary number might be $(10)_2$. 
+- The *least significant bit* (LSB) is usually the right-most bit. The highest value bit, or the *most significant bit* (MSB).
+- A nibble is 4 bits, and a byte is 8 bits
+## Conversions
+### Base 10 to Binary
+Repeatedly divide by 2, and track the remainder. 
+
+As an example, the below table shows how one might convert from $(857)_{10}$ to base 2.
+
+| Equation        | Remainder |     |
+| --------------- | --------- | --- |
+| $857 / 2 = 428$ | $1$       |     |
+| $428 / 2 = 214$ | $0$       |     |
+| $214 / 2 = 107$ | $0$       |     |
+| $107 / 2 = 53$  | $1$       |     |
+| $53 / 2 = 26$   | $1$       |     |
+| $26 / 2 = 13$   | $0$       |     |
+| $13 / 2 = 6$    | $1$       |     |
+| $6 / 2 = 3$     | $0$       |     |
+| $3 / 2 = 1$     | $1$       |     |
+| $1 / 2 = 0$     | $1$       |     |
+
+The final answer is $1101011001$. The least significant bit is the remainder of the first division operation, and the most significant bit is the remainder of the last operation.

+A Karnaugh map is an alternative to a truth table for representing a function in boolean algebra, and serve as a way to derive minimum cost circuits for a truth table.
+
+![[karnaugh-maps.png]]
+
+Given the above truth table, the columns are labelled with $x_1$, and the rows are labelled with $x_2$.
+
+To find a minimal boolean expression with a Karnaugh map, we need to find the smallest number of product terms  ($x_1$, $x_2$) that should produce a 1 for all instances where the cell in a table is $1$. 
+
+# Two Variable Maps
+

+
+- Given the map described in the above image, the output is $1$ for the row where $x_2$ is equal to 1.
+- Similarly, the output is $1$ for the column where $x_1$ is equal to zero.
+- By ORing the condition where $x_1$ is zero ($\overline{x_1}$), and the condition where $x_2$ is one ($x_1$), we can find a minimal expression for the truth table.
+
+# Three Variable Maps
+![[Pasted image 20250224105753.png]]
+
+A three variable Karnaugh map is constructed by placing 2 two-variable maps side by side. The values of $x_1$ and $x_2$ distinguish columns in the map, and the value of $x_3$ distinguishes rows in the map.
+
+To convert a 3 variable Karnaugh map to a minimal boolean expression, start by looking for places in the map that contain 1s next to each other (by row, or by column).
+
+![[Pasted image 20250224110124.png]]
+
+From there, describe the pair of 1s using boolean algebra.
+
+In the above example, the top pair of 1s is in the column where $x_3$ is equal to zero ($\overline{x_3}$), and $x_1$ is equal to $1$ ($x_1$). This describes a single term in the resulting equation ($x_1\overline{x_3}$).

+Modules are the building block through which Verilog is built.
+
+Each module can be thought of as a black box with a series of inputs, and a series of outputs. Changing the input changes the outputs.
+
+Module definitions are started with the `module` keyword, and closed with the `endmodule` keyword.
+
+## Syntax
+The general syntax of a module is as follows:
+```verilog
+// This line is referred to as the *module header*
+module <name> ([port_list]);
+	// Contents of the module
+endmodule
+
+// The port list is optional
+module <name>;
+	// Contents
+endmodule
+```
+
+Below is an example of the structure of a half adder module:
+```verilog
+module half_adder(
+	input a,
+	input b,
+	output sum_bit,
+	output carry_bit
+	);
+	// ------- snip ------------
+endmodule
+```
+
+## Ports
+Ports are a set of signals that act as input and outputs for a particular module. 
+
+There are 3 kinds of ports:
+- `input`: Input ports can only receive values from the outside. `input` ports cannot be written to.
+- `output`: Output ports can be written to, but not read from.
+- `inout`: Inout ports can send *and* receive values.
+
+Ports can be declared in the port list, or in the module body. Ports declared in the port list can optionally omit their type and only declare a name, to be specified within the body of the module:
+```verilog
+module half_adder(
+	a,
+	b,
+	sum_bit,
+	carry_bit
+	);
+	input a;
+	input b;
+	output sum_bit;
+	output carry_bit;
+	// ----------- snip -----------
+endmodule
+```
+
+The full type of a port can also be defined within the portlist:
+```verilog
+```verilog
+module half_adder(
+	input wire a,
+	input wire b,
+	output wire sum_bit,
+	output wire carry_bit
+	);
+	input a;
+	input b;
+	output sum_bit;
+	output carry_bit;
+	// ----------- snip -----------
+endmodule
+```
+
+### Port types
+If no type is defined, ports are implicitly defined as *nets* of type `wire`.
+
+> In verilog, the term *net* refers to network, and it refers to a connection that joins two or more devices together.
+
+Ports can be a vector type:
+```verilog
+module test(a, b, c);
+	input [7:0] a;
+	input [7:0] b;
+	output [7:0] c;
+	// -------- snip ---------
+endmodule
+```
+
+# Instantiation
+Larger designs can be built by using multiple smaller modules.
+
+Modules can be *instantiated* within other modules and ports, and these *instances* can be connected with other signals.
+
+These port connections can be defined by an *ordered list*, or by *name*.
+
+### By Ordered List
+```verilog
+module submodule (input x, y, z, output o);
+	// ------- snip -------
+endmodule
+
+module parent;
+	wire a, b, c;
+	wire o;
+	// Similar to C, the type of the module is first, followed by
+	// the name of the module instance.
+	submodule foo (a, b, c, o);
+endmodule
+```
+
+### By Name
+Ports can also be joined by explicitly defining the name.
+
+Syntactically, this is done with a dot (`.`), followed by the port name defined by the design, followed by the signal name to connect, wrapped in parenthesis (`.x(a)`).
+```verilog
+module submodule (input x, y, z, output o);
+	// ------------snip-----------------
+endmodule
+
+module parent;
+	wire a, b, c;
+	wire o;
+	submodule foo (
+		.x(a),
+		.y(b),
+		.z(c),
+		.o(o)
+	);
+```
+
+Because association is done by name, the order of definition does not matter.
+
+### Unconnected ports
+Ports that are not connected to any wire by the parent module will have a value of high impedance, and is considered unknown/undefined.

+There are two main categories of data types in Verilog. These categories differ in the underlying hardware structure they represent, and they differ in the way they are assigned and retain values.
+# Nets
+A *net* refers to a *network* of connections that join two or more devices together.
+
+Nets connect different hardware entities and *do not store values*. 
+## Wire
+A `wire` is the most commonly used type of net. When a port is declared in Verilog, it is implicitly given a type of `wire`.
+
+It is illegal to re-declare a name already in use by a net:
+```verilog
+module foo;
+	wire abc;
+	wire a;
+	wire b;
+	wire c;
+
+	wire abc; // ILLEGAL: The wire `abc` is already defined
+
+```
+
+# Variables
+A variable is a data storage element. They retain the last input given.
+```verilog
+```verilog
+module testbench;
+  integer  	int_a; 				// Integer variable
+  real 		real_b; 			// Real variable
+  time 		time_c; 			// Time variable
+
+  initial begin
+    int_a 	= 32'hfacd_1b34; 	// Assign an integer value
+    real_b 	= 0.1234567; 		// Assign a floating point value
+
+    #20; 						// Advance simulation time by 20 units
+    time_c 	= $time; 			// Assign current simulation time
+
+    // Now print all variables using $display system task
+    $display ("int_a 	= 0x%0h", int_a);
+    $display ("real_b 	= %0.5f", real_b);
+    $display ("time_c 	= %0t", time_c);
+  end
+endmodule
+```
+```
+## Registers
+A `reg` can be used to model hardware registers because it stores a value until the next assignment.
+
+### Integer
+A Verilog `integer` type is a 32 bit wide storage value. It does not *need* to store integers, it can be used for other purposes.
+```verilog
+	integer   count;
+```
+### Time
+A `time` variable is unsigned, 64 bits wide, and can be used to store time duration for debugging purposes. `realtime` is similar, but time is stored as a floating bit value.
+
+## Real
+The `real` type denotes a floating point value.
+
+## Strings
+Strings are stored in a vector of `reg`s. The width of the `reg` *must* be large enough to hold the string.
+
+Each character in a string represents a one byte ASCII value. If the size of the variable is smaller than the string, the string is truncated.
+# Scalar and Vector Types
+By default, declarations of a net or `reg` value is 1 bit wide, referred to as a *scalar* value (only a single value).
+
+```verilog
+// Scalar declaration
+wire foo;
+// Vector declaration, with 8 bits.
+wire [7:0] bar;
+```
+
+Individual bits in a vector can be accessed using array operators, eg `[i]`.
+
+```verilog
+reg [7:0] foo;
+
+// Write to bit 0
+foo [0] = 1;
+```
+
+## Part selects
+A range of contiguous bits from within another vector can be selected, referred to as a part select. This range can then be treated as a vector.
+```verilog
+reg [31:0] foo;
+// Select bits 23 through 16 (inclusive), and assign the 8 bit hex value `0xff` to them.
+foo [23:16] = 8'hff;
+```

+- People view addiction as a moral failure
+	- Addiction treatment options aren't embraced by the public because treating addiction is seen as indulging in weakness rather than "curing" addiction
+	- "Most of us have been trained to use more forgiving language when talking about addiction. We call it a disease. We say that people with addiction should be helped, not blamed. But deep down, many of us still have trouble avoiding the thought that they could stop using if they just tried harder. "
+	- "There’s a part of us that can’t help but see addiction as a symptom of weak character and bad judgment."
+- The view of addiction as a moral failure is causing real damage to the world
+	- "The stigma against addiction is “the single biggest reason America is failing in its response to the opioid epidemic,” [Vox’s German Lopez concluded](https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/12/18/16635910/opioid-epidemic-lessons) after a year of reporting on the crisis""
+	- "Lives depend on where we come down. The stigma against addiction owes its stubborn tenacity to a specific, and flawed, philosophical view of the mind, a misconception so seductive that it ensnared Socrates in the fifth century BC."
+- People view addiction as a moral failure because of the subconscious societal belief that our actions always reflect our beliefs and values
+	- "We tend to view addiction as a moral failure because we are in the grip of a simple but misleading answer to one of the oldest questions of philosophy: Do people always do what they think is best? In other words, do our actions always reflect our beliefs and values? When someone with addiction chooses to take drugs, does this show us what she truly cares about — or might something more complicated be going on?"
+	- Plato describes acting against one's best judgement as "Akrasia"
+		- "At one point their discussion turns to the topic of what the Greeks called akrasia: acting against one’s best judgment."
+		- "Akrasia is a fancy name for an all-too-common experience. I know I should go to the gym, but I watch Netflix instead. You know you’ll enjoy dinner more if you stop eating the bottomless chips, but you keep munching nevertheless."
+			- This makes the article more relatable
+		- Socrates felt that this didn't make sense, arguing that actions always reveal true beliefs
+			- "Socrates clearly never went to a restaurant with unlimited chips. But he has a point. To figure out what a person’s true priorities are, we usually look to the choices they make. (“Actions speak louder than words.”) When a person binges on TV, munches chips, or gets high despite the consequences, Socrates would infer that they must care more about indulging now than about avoiding those consequences — whatever they may _say_ to the contrary"
+			- He argues that people simply have bad judgement, and that they aren't acting against their better judgement.
+			- He also argues that bad decisions indicate bad priorities.
+			- The idea that people need to hit "rock bottom" before they can hit true recovery reinforces that idea. It means that a person needs to truly understand the consequences of their "selfishness".
+			- Socratic rationale for punishing drug possession with jail is another example of this idea.
+	- Addiction intensifies the disconnect between judgement and action
+		- "Here’s the testimony of one person with addiction, reported in Maia Szalavitz’s book [_Unbroken Brain_](https://books.google.com/books?id=4yJ3CgAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PA114#v=onepage&q&f=false): “I can remember many, many times driving down to the projects telling myself, ‘You don’t want to do this! You don’t want to do this!’ But I’d do it anyway.”
+			- Ethos
+- The "self" is not a single unitary thing
+	- The concept of a "dual process" mind comes from Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, who divides the mind into a part that makes judgements quickly, intuitively, and unconsciously ("System 1") and a part that thinks more slowly, rationally, and consiously ("System 2").
+	- Neuroscientist Kent Berridge notes a system in our brain he calls the "wanting system", which regulates our cravings for things like food, sex, and drugs, using signals based in the neutrotransmitter dopamine
+		- "More pertinent for our purposes is research on what [University of Michigan neuroscientist Kent Berridge](http://www-personal.umich.edu/~berridge/) calls the “wanting system,” which regulates our cravings for things like food, sex, and drugs using signals based in the neurotransmitter dopamine. The wanting system has powerful control over behavior, and its cravings are insensitive to long-term consequences."
+		- He notes that drugs hijack that system causing cravings that are far stronger than humans experience.
+	- The boundaries of where "the self" is in the human brain aren't clearly defined, processes in the brain mesh together tightly, so there's no clean boundary.
+	- From a philosophical sense, there are many different ways to approach the concept of the self.
+	- Modern philosophers reject the socratic view on behavior, instead saying that the self is instead based on judgements about the kind of person one wants to be, and the life they want to lead.
+	- Addiction lies somewhere between choice and compulsion. Addiction doesn't make the choice for you, but it makes you gravitate towards a particular options.
+	- Addiction is not a moral failure because it's still the same person, they just face cravings that are far harder to resist.
+		- Treatments like methadone and buprenorphine can help with addiction by reducing the power of those cravings.

+# The Complex Case of Fear and Safe Space
+## Introduction
+- The Chicago School board considered a proposal for a magnet school intended to be a safe space for LGBT individuals
+- The only reliable way to prevent disrespectful treatment is through separation
+- The rational commonly used for safe spaces makes it difficult for an educator to effectively respond to actual harassment
+- The need for safe space for students who experience social exclusion and harassment is the result of a political economy that was *intended to create safe space for others*. (2) Students *who are able* to articulate a need for safe space often don’t need the kind of space separation offers; *students who need (if only temporarily) separation, often are unable to say so.* (3) ‘‘Safe space’’ does not always or only function to defuse fear and establish safety for students; safe space may also function to create emotional relief for adults
+- Safe spaces translate feelings of fear into separation, creating a divide
+- The desire for safe spaces comes from the inherent idea that being hurt is an uncomfortable emotion, and fearing being hurt is an uncomfortable emotion. These are generally perceived to impede students' abilities to learn and grow. As such, safety is the antidote for fear, but this safety creates separation
+- The creation of safe spaces relies on the assumption that the creators of safe spaces are able to effectively anticipate the fears of students across cultural, racial, and social divides.
+- In this context, fear is fear of harm and danger. By operating on the assumption that more harm will come, this establishes a power relationship that's rooted in *past histories*, where the disadvantaged group is harmed.
+- By implementing safe spaces, you create a dynamic where the response to harassment (assumed or real) is fear.
+- If safe spaces create a dynamic of fear, the effect of safe spaces is less than desirable, and it doesn't move towards the intended goal of making students feel safer, rather it moves them away. 
+## Where do calls for safe spaces come from?
+- Many students do not want to be separated from their peers
+- Many students who have the luxury of asking for a safe space don't truly need one
+- Calls for safe spaces have typically come from parents or educators
+- Many of the dynamics that enable harassment are invisible to those who enjoy privilege, social or otherwise
+- A call for a safe space indicates acknowledgement that a student feels uncomfortable in the face of other peers' behavior. The call for a safe space as a solution places that uncomfortable feeling into the box of "fear"
+- As long as we assume that emotions are instinctual reactions of a person to external events (even if triggered by cognitive judgment) that prompt action, the only available analysis of emotion relies on an outmoded faculty psychology. This has the troubling effect of divorcing logic and affect in action
+## Fear
+- Emotions can be viewed through the lens of a cognitive device that can help create and form habits.
+### Fear as an evolutionary tool
+- As Dewey helps us to understand, *it is not that fear as emotion causes us to move away from persons perceived as somehow dangerous; rather, affect becomes ‘‘fear’’ by the interpreted action of separation.*
+- Therefore, neurologically, *fear stems from habit*, not the other way around
+- Affect arises unbidden in a reaction to a problematic circumstance in which habits of adjustment are inadequate
+	- Basically: You feel fear when you are unable to resolve the perceived issue through typical means
+- This emotional response doesn't necessarily need to be fear, leading to separation
+- This emotional response can be redirected into a search for understanding, creating a productive output (Dewey)
+- The author disagrees with the above sentiment, arguing that fear and anger can be intelligent, productive, emotions.
+### Fear as a Sociocultural Practice
+- According to Ahmed, objects and rhetoric can become "sticky, or saturated with emotion"
+- The author then uses this to reinforce the idea that by propagating "past feelings" forward by proactively acting against them, we continue to let these ideas hold meaning, and power.
+	- The author refers to this propagation of fear as "habituated fear"
+	- This fear works in two ways, the discriminated group fears further discrimination, and the dominant group fears losing control, change, and that which it does not understand. "The more we don't know \[understand] what or who it is we fear, *the more the world becomes fearsome*"
+- You can change the narrative around an idea, thus changing the emotions associated with it
+- *By designating fears \[at a societal level], we divide the world into safe spaces and unsafe spaces \[for different groups of people]*
+- By creating a designated "zone" of safety, you're allowing fear to restrict the space in which "targeted groups" exist in, which in turn allows "attacking groups" to grow and occupy more space
+- Without the ability to attach fear to certain objects, the "world itself" becomes fearsome. Humans attach fear to certain objects, thus enabling them to view the world from a simpler perspective of "safe", and "unsafe
+- Those in the discriminated group are often led to mask discomfort because societally, especially in "dominant groups", showing fear is seen as a sign of weakness. They are not able to avoid interacting with the dominant group without facing significant socioeconomic consequences.
+- The effect of safe spaces is to restrict the movement of parties *least likely* to cause trouble. This includes examples like restricting females to dorms to keep them safe from roving males, to the creation of a LGBT school for the protection of those students
+- The creation of safe spaces places people into categories, categories built around fear. This is effectively actively *investing* in the set of societal norms, creating further discrimination and harm. 
+### Understanding emotions
+- Emotions come to be with reference to relational, socially constructed, context oriented experience
+- Separation is one way in which responding to an event results in the event being recorded as "something to be afraid of" in the amygdala
+- In may ways, safe spaces enable the habituation of fear in this manner
+- Fear is an emotion that's more easily used to hurt or control others, by making targeted groups afraid, then you give the dominant group control over them
+- *Safe spaces are a simple solution for an inherently complicated problem*. They limit rich deconstruction and interpretation of a situation, leading to limited ability to act on a fitting response.
+- When fear becomes habitually associated with an object, it becomes resistant to rational control
+- **How does fear benefit the fearful one?**
+- As people put up defenses from each other, we grow farther apart, and it becomes easier to view a group of people as "the other"
+- These groups tend to 
+- Harassment can be more effectively combatted by re-interpreting the treatment they receive.

+# Dilemmas of political correctness
+<https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:40d31aed-1296-4dc6-b511-e7135b83ee8a>
+- Discussions around political correctness can often be simplified down into such:
+	- Proponents see nothing to fear in erecting norms that inhibit expression on one side, and opponents see this as a misguided effort to silence political enemies.
+- The author defines political correctness as "the attempt to establish norms of speech (or sometimes behavior) that are thought to protect vulnerable, marginalized, or historically victimized groups, with the goal of shaping public discourse with the goal of avoiding insult or outrage, a lowered sense of self esteem, or otherwise offending sensibilities." By dubbing something politically incorrect, it implies that there is something worrisome or objectionable at work
+- The author places strong emphasis on the distinction between an idea being morally right or wrong, and being politically correct. He provides the examples that:
+	- Criticizing someone for referring to an administrative assistant as a "secretary" constitutes political correctness, but advocating for higher wages is not
+	- Insisting on trigger warnings or deleting offending material is a form of political correctness, but arguing for rape prevention security measures is not.
+	- In the inverse, it's not politically incorrect to make a donation to fight gay marriage, but it is politically incorrect to speak publicly against gay marriage
+- Political correctness can be viewed as something to benefit marginalized groups, or as a societal movement towards restraint on public expression
+- Given the idea that political correctness is a societal movement, it culminates in a form of self censorship where there are consequences for those who violate communal norms
+- One practical example of this is when German politician Phillipp Jenninger fell into disgrace after a speech that engaged rhetorically with the perspective of Nazi Germany, even though the speech was devoid of Nazi sympathy or anti-semitism. The same speech was given in a jewish synagogue by a jewish leader, and it received no negative response, demonstrating that the worry was the *signal* sent by the speech being given by a german politician
+- Another practical example is when the mayor of Washington DC was forced to resign after making use of the word "niggardly"
+	- The N word is derived from latin roots (*niger* - dark) and developed from french and spanish roots in the mid 18th century, whereas niggardly is derived from the old english word *nigon*, meaning stingy. The modern etymological root is niggle, meaning giving excessive attention to minor details
+- Self censorship is an ultimate victory for those seeking to eliminate a form of censorship
+- Political correctness stems from concern for the victimized groups, and is typically seen on the left end of the political spectrum, but it can also be seen on the right
+	- Examples includes attempts to delegitimize opposition to war by suggesting dissenters are insulting "the brave men and women who fight on our behalf"
+- Those opposed to political correctness often dismiss it as a trivial insistence to redefine words, or an attempt to silence opposition.
+- It's easy to dismiss some cases, but it's harder to dismiss others (eg, the taboo on the N word or certain taboos around racial science, or the underlying worries around such ideas).
+	- There are perfectly valid motivations for attempting to cultivate and enforce political norms, eg a record of violence and injustice directed towards African Americans being promoted through superficially respectable means
+- On a broader level, enlightened moral thinking has led society to converge on a *default norm against advancing ideas associated with oppression or marginalization*
+- The author agrees with the idea  that political correctness has made “the casual infliction of humiliation...much less socially acceptable than it was,” and even that “encouraging students to be ‘politically correct’ has made our country a far better place.”
+- The author argues that political correctness has brought huge benefits, but there are limits of being politically correct
+	- Where those limits should be located is subject to disagreement. On one end of the spectrum are minor conventions and taboos, at the other end are explicit laws prohibiting forms of expression (hate speech)
+	- You can acknowledge the value of political correctness without endorsing all uses of political correctness as a barrier in public discourse
+	- Potential drawbacks of political correctness are especially relevant when you note how individual applications of political correctness are applied at an extreme level.
+	- Extreme political correctness can often revolve around morally superficial applications of reasonable norms, taken to an extreme
+- Political correctness concerns offense and sensibilities, not the objective interests of everyone involved. 
+- There's an increasing tendency to reject government terms like "illegal alien" in favor of "undocumented immigrant" with the implication that refusing to do so implies reactionary or hateful views.
+- One example of political correctness backfiring is when "sensitive" material is removed from coursework to avoid upsetting students. 
+- This is shown with affirmative action causing problems and not having the intended affect
+- We want to avoid "being gored on either horn"
+- Enforcing political correctness can lead to widespread "preference falsification", in which what people believe in private is detached from what is spoken in public
+- "preference falsification" can lead to polarization.
+- In the example of social justice, many attribute poor social outcomes to factors *external* to the person, because then you can avoid directly blaming the person, an inherently uncomfortable discussion. Regardless of how correct the end result is, this tendency is still present. 
+- In promoting norms intended to benefit marginalized groups, we both help and hurt them.
+
+# Safe spaces, explained
+- The author introduces the paper by showcasing some of the negative ways in which safe spaces are viewed and understood.
+- The author then explains that safe spaces are a place where marginalized groups can feel welcome and accepted
+- Distinction is made between psychological safety and physical safety
+- The first usages of the term "safe space" came from the 1960s, where same sex relationships were outlawed, so a safe space was a place where people were able to practice same sex relationships without being noticed by the cops. 
+- Examples of situations where the classical term "safe space" still applies exist in areas where non-heteronormative behavior is outlawed or socially shamed.
+- The same idea applies to other groups, like women, and people of color.
+- One advocate for safe spaces states that they've found that being able to surround themselves with people of the same marginalized group makes it easier to be themselves
+- Some safe spaces are created explicitly, whereas others are created organically
+- Safe spaces create a place for marginalized groups to truly relax. The author makes the claim that stress caused by discrimination creates poor health outcomes among groups who experience systemic discrimination. 
+- Opponents of safe spaces caution that safe spaces limit social change by preventing the "messy work" of fighting for social change from occurring.
+- Debate and conflict isn't always what people want or feel they need.
+- There's a fear that social justice issues are nearly impossible to effectively resolve
+- Groupthink is a real issue that can occur within safe spaces.
+- People in marginalized groups have to face the feeling that society wasn't really designed for them, whereas people in dominant groups don't face that experience.
+
+# How Safe Spaces Contribute to Mental Health
+- The term safe space is broadly used to describe designated areas or communities

-## What is art?
-**Art**: the expression or application of human creative skill.
-art must:
-- be made with the intent to convey emotion
-- should "satisfy the senses"
-- be made with intent
-- have attention to feeling and emotion
-art may:
-- be a relay of experience or emotion from one person to another
-
-## Medium
-A particular material, along with an accompanying technique (plural: media). Example include:
-- Acrylic, enamel, gesso, glaze, ink, oil
-
-## History
-1. The branch of knowledge dealing with past events
-## How do you look at art?
-Purposes and functions of art include:
-- Communicating information:
-	- In non-literate societies, art was used to teach.
-	- Today, film and television are used to disseminate information.
-- Spirituality and Religion
-	- All of the world's major religions have used art to inspire and instruct the faithful
-- Personal and cultural expression
-- Social and political ends
-	  - Artists have criticized or influenced values or public opinion
-	  - Often it is clear and direct
-	  - Other times, however, it is less obvious
-		  - Monarchs who commissioned projects to symbolize their strength and power
-
-Generally, art can be broken down into two parts, *form*, and *content*. 
-- Form relates to the "formal" aspects of art, composition or medium.
-- Content relates to the subject. What's being portrayed, how are they portraying it?
-- The distinction should be made between fact and opinion/guessing.
-
-Parts of form:
-1. Line and Shape
-	- Lines define space and may create an outline or contour, as style called "linear"
-	- They can be *visible* or *implied*, and may be a part of composition
-	- It may be 2 dimensional, 3 dimensional, suggested, or implied.
-	- *Wherever there is an edge
-2. Color
-	- Hue: The name of the color (red, blue, yellow)
-	- Saturation: The quality or vibrancy of those values
-	- Value: The addition of white, black, or grey to the value
-		- Tint: pure hue + white
-		- Tone: pure hue + grey
-		- Shade: pure hue + black
-3. Texture
-	- Texture is an element of art pertaining to the surface quality or "feel" of the work of art
-	- Texture can be described as smooth, rough, soft, etc. Some textures are real, and others are simulated
-	- Textures that can be *felt* are ones that fingers can actually touch.
-4. Space and Mass
-	- Space references to what contains objects: may be 2D or 3D.
-	- Mass refers to the effect and degree of the bulk, density, and weight of matter in space.
-	- In architecture or sculpture, it is the area occupied by a form.
-	- Perspective: Foreshortening is a way of representing an object so that it conveys the illusion of depth; an object appears to be thrust forward or backward in space.
-5. Composition
-	- How are items arranged or organized in art
-	- Symmetrical, asymmetrical
-	- Static or dynamic
-	- Picture space is comprised of foreground, middle ground, and background.
-6. Scale
-	- As an art history term, scale refers to the size of an object or object represented
-	- Size of things, conveyed or literal
-
-Parts of style:
-- Cultural style
-	- Societies develop their own beliefs and style of material forms
-	- Artists are a product of their culture
-- Period style
-	- Style changes over time
-	- Art changes because of economic and political changes
-- Regional style
-	- Geography leads to diverse styles
-- Personal style
-	- Individual artists often have distinct styles
-
-Two basic forms of style:
-- Representational: Seeks to create recognizable subject matter (this is a picture of a dog)
-- Abstract: Seeks to capture the essence of a form, not the literal representation (this picture captures the feeling of a dog)

+# Intro
+Tl;dr, the law of sines is:
+$$ \frac{\sin(\alpha)}{a} = \frac{\sin(\beta)}{b} = \frac{\sin(\gamma)}{c} $$
+Under convention:
+- Angle $\alpha$ is opposite side $a$
+- Angle $\beta$ is opposite side $b$
+- Angle $\gamma$ is opposite side $c$
+
+- Any triangle that is *not a right triangle* is called an oblique triangle. There are two types of oblique triangles:
+	- **Acute triangles**: This is an oblique triangle where all three interior angles are less than $90\degree$ or $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ radians.
+	- **Obtuse Triangle**: This is an oblique triangle where one of the interior angles is greater than $90\degree$.
+## Different types of oblique triangles
+1. **ASA Triangle**: (Angle Side Angle) - We know the measurements of two angles and the side between them
+2. **AAS**: We know the measurements of two angles and a side that is not between the known angles.
+3. **SSA**: We know the measurements of two sides and an angle that is not between the known sides.
+These triangles can be solved by adding a line that goes from one vertex to intersect perpendicular to the opposite side, forming two right triangles ($h$).
+
+## Solving for the law of sines
+We know that $\sin\alpha = \dfrac{h}{b}$ and $\sin\beta = \dfrac{h}{a}$. We can sole both equations for $h$ to get:
+- $h = b\sin\alpha$
+- $h = a\sin\beta$
+Setting both equations equal to each other gives us:
+$b\sin\alpha = a\sin\beta$
+
+Multiply both sides by $\dfrac{1}{ab}$ gives yields $\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{a} = \dfrac{\sin\beta}{b}$
+
+# SSA triangles
+Side side angle triangles may be solved to have one possible solution, two possible solutions, or no possible solutions.
+
+- No triangle: $a < h$
+- One triangle: $a \ge b$
+- Two triangles: $h < a < b$
+- One right triangle: $a = h$

+A vector is a mathematical concept that denotes direction and magnitude. They're often notated using an arrow ($\vec{v}$), or with a bold, lowercase letter. (**v**).
+
+
+Vectors are often denoted as a matrix with two rows: $\begin{bmatrix}1 \\2\end{bmatrix}$
+# Component Form
+If $\vec{v}$ is a vector with the initial point $(x_y,\ y_i)$, and a terminal point $(x_t,\ y_t)$, we can express $\vec{v}$ in component form as $\vec{v} = \langle x_t - x_i,\ y_t, -y_i \rangle$ 
+# Magnitude
+The magnitude of a vector is $|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
+
+# Direction
+The direction of a vector is $\theta = \tan^-1(\frac{b}{a})$.
+
+# Addition
+To find $\vec{u} + \vec{v}$, we can put one vector on the end of another vector. The resulting vector will share the same tail as the first vector, and the same head as the second vector.
+
+# Scalar Multiplication
+A **scalar** is just a real number. Scalar multiplication is multiplying a vector with a real number. This will scale or shrink a vector, but does not change the direction it points at.
+
+We do not multiply two vectors together.
+# Unit Vector
+A vector with a magnitude of 1 is a **unit vector**.
+
+If $\vec{v}$ is a nonzero vector, the unit vector can be found using the equation $\vec{u} = \dfrac{1}{|\vec{v}|}\vec{v}$ . In other words, to find a unit vector, divide the vector by its magnitude.
+
+# $i$, $j$ Notation
+Every 2D vector has a horizontal component and a vertical component. The horizontal unit vector could be written as $i = \langle 1, 0 \rangle$, and the vertical unit vector could be written as $j = \langle 0, 1 \rangle$ Every vector can be made up using a combination of these standard unit vectors.
+
+# Trigonometric Form
+Given a vector $\vec{v}$ with a magnitude $|\vec{v}|$ and direction $\theta$:
+
+The component form is given as:
+
+$$ \vec{v} = \langle |\vec{v}||\cos \theta,\ |\vec{v}|\sin\theta \rangle $$
+
+# Standard position
+- A vector is in standard position if the initial point is at $(0, 0)$.
+
+# The Dot Product
+The dot product of two vectors $\vec{u} = \langle a, b \rangle$ and $\vec{v} = \langle c, d \rangle$ is $\vec{u} * \vec{v} = ac + bd$.
+
+- Given that $\vec{u} = \langle -7, 3 \rangle$, and $\vec{v} = \langle -3, 4 \rangle$, find $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}$.
+- $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = -7 \cdot -4 + 3 \cdot 4$
+
+The dot product can be used to find the angle between two vectors.
+
+If $\theta (0\degree < \theta < 180\degree)$, is the angle between two nonzero vectors $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$, then
+$$ \cos\theta = \dfrac{\vec{u}\cdot\vec{v}}{|\vec{u}||\vec{v}|} $$
+
+# Work
+The dot product can be used to compute the work required to move an object a certain distance.
+
+To compute work, you need a force and direction. If the force is applied in the same direction:
+
+$$ W = Fd $$
+
+The work $W$ is done by a constant force $\vec{F}$ in moving an object from a point $P$ to a point $Q$ is defined by:
+$$ W = \vec{F} \cdot\vec{PQ} = |\vec{F}||\vec{PQ}|\cos\theta $$Where $\theta$ is the angle between $\vec{F}$ and $\vec{PQ}$.

+SA derivative can be used to describe the rate of change at a single point, or the *instantaneous velocity*.
+
+The formula used to calculate the average rate of change looks like this:
+$$ \dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} $$
+Interpreting it, this can be described as the change in $y$ over the change in $x$.
+
+- Speed is always positive
+- Velocity is directional
+
+As the distance between the two points $a$ and $b$ grow smaller, we get closer and closer to the instantaneous velocity of a point. Limits are suited to describing the behavior of a function as it approaches a point.
+
+If we have the coordinate pair $(a, f(a))$, and the value $h$ is the distance between $a$ and another $x$ value, the coordinates of that point can be described as ($(a + h, f(a + h))$. With this info:
+- The slope of the secant line can be described as $\dfrac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{a + h - a}$, which simplifies to $\dfrac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h}$. 
+- The slope of the *tangent line* or the *instantaneous velocity* can be found by taking the limit of the above function as the distance ($h$) approaches zero:
+$$\lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h}$$
+The above formula can be used to find the *derivative*. This may also be referred to as the *instantaneous velocity*, or the *instantaneous rate of change*.
+
+## Examples
+
+> Differentiate $f(x) = 4\sqrt[3]{x} - \dfrac{1}{x^6}$ 
+
+1. $f(x) = 4\sqrt[3]{x} = \dfrac{1}{x^6}$
+2. $= 4x^\frac{1}{3} - x^{-6}$  
+3. $f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{3} * 4x^{-\frac{2}{3}} -(-6)(x^{-6-1})$ 
+4. $= 4x^{-2-\frac{2}{3}} + 6x^{-7}$
+5. $= \dfrac{4}{3\sqrt[3]{x^2}} + \dfrac{6}{x^7}$
+# Point Slope Formula (Review)
+$$  y - y_1 = m(x-x_1) $$
+Given that $m = f'(a)$ and that $(x_1, y_1) = (a, f(a))$, you get the equation:
+ $$ y - f(a) = f'(a)(x - a) $$
+As a more practical example, given an equation with a slope of $6$ at the point $(-2, -4)$:
+$$ y - (-4) = 6(x - -2)$$
+Solving for $y$ looks like this:
+1. $y + 4 = 6(x + 2)$
+2. $y = 6(x + 2) - 4$ 
+3. $y = 6x + 12 - 4$
+4. $y = 6x + 8$ 
+# Line Types
+## Secant Line
+A **Secant Line** connects two points on a graph.
+
+A **Tangent Line** represents the rate of change or slope at a single point on the graph.
+
+# Notation
+Given the equation $y = f(x)$, the following are all notations used to represent the derivative of $f$ at $x$:
+- $f'(x)$
+- $\dfrac{d}{dx}f(x)$
+- $y'$
+- $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$
+- $\dfrac{df}{dx}$
+- "Derivative of $f$ with respect to $x$"
+
+# Functions that are not differentiable at a given point
+- Where a function is not defined
+- Where a sharp turn takes place
+- If the slope of the tangent line is vertical
+
+# Higher Order Derivatives
+- Take the derivative of a derivative
+
+# Constant Rule
+The derivative of a constant is always zero.
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}[c] = 0$$
+For example, the derivative of the equation $f(x) = 3$ is $0$. 
+# Derivative of $x$
+The derivative of $x$ is one.
+
+For example, the derivative of the equation $f(x) = x$ is $1$, and the derivative of the equation $f(x) = 3x$ is $3$. 
+
+# Exponential Derivative Formula
+Using the definition of a derivative to determine the derivative of $f(x) = x^n$, where $n$ is any natural number.
+
+$$ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{(x + h)^n - x^n}{h} $$
+- Using pascal's triangle, we can approximate $(x + h)^n$
+```
+    1
+   1 1
+  1 2 1
+ 1 3 3 1
+1 4 6 4 1 
+```
+
+- Where $n = 0$: $(x + h)^0  = 1$
+- Where $n = 1$: $(x +h)^1 = 1x + 1h$
+- Where $n = 2$: $(x +h)^2 = x^2 + 2xh + h^2$
+- Where $n = 3$: $(x + h)^3 = 1x^3h^0 + 3x^2h^1 + 3x^1h^2 + 1x^0h^3 = 1x^3 + 3x^2h + 3xh^2 + 1h^3$
+
+Note that the coefficient follows the associated level of Pascal's Triangle (`1 3 3 1`), and $x$'s power decrements, while $h$'s power increments. The coefficients of each pair will always add up to $n$. Eg, $3 + 0$, $2 + 1$, $1 + 2$, and so on. The **second** term in the polynomial created will have a coefficient of $n$. 
+
+$$ \dfrac{(x + h)^n - x^n}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{(x^n + nx^{n-1}h + P_{n3}x^{n-2}h^2 + \cdots + h^n)-x^n}{h} $$ $P$ denotes some coefficient found using Pascal's triangle.
+
+$x^n$ cancels out, and then $h$ can be factored out of the binomial series. 
+
+This leaves us with:
+$$ \lim_{h \to 0} nx^{n-1} + P_{n3} x^{n-2}*0 \cdots v * 0 $$
+
+The zeros leave us with:
+
+$$ f(x) = n, \space f'(x) = nx^{n-1} $$
+# Sum and Difference Rules
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}(f(x) \pm g(x)) = f'(x) \pm g'(x) $$
+
+# Product Rule
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x) * g(x)) = \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(x +h) * g(x + h) - f(x)g(x)}{h} $$
+This is done by adding a value equivalent to zero to the numerator ($f(x + h)g(x) - f(x + h)g(x)$):
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x) * g(x)) = \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(x +h) * g(x + h) + f(x + h)g(x) - f(x+h)g(x) - f(x)g(x)}{h} $$
+
+From here you can factor out $f(x + h)$ from the first two terms, and a $g(x)$ from the next two terms.
+
+Then break into two different fractions:
+
+$$\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(x + h)}{1} * \dfrac{(g(x + h) - g(x))}{h)} + \dfrac{g(x)}{1} *\dfrac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h} $$
+From here, you can take the limit of each fraction, therefore showing that to find the derivative of two values multiplied together, you can use the formula:
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}(f(x) * g(x)) = f(x) * g'(x) + f'(x)*g(x) $$
+
+# Constant Multiple Rule
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}[c*f(x)] = c * f'(x) $$
+# Quotient Rule
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}(\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}) = \dfrac{f'(x)g(x) -f(x)g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}  $$
+
+# Exponential Rule
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} e^x = e^x $$
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}a^x = a^x*(\ln(a)) $$
+for all $a > 0$
+
+
+# Logarithms
+
+For natural logarithms:
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \ln |x| = \dfrac{1}{x} $$
+
+For other logarithms:
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \log_a x = \dfrac{1}{(\ln a) x}$$
+When solving problems that make use of logarithms, consider making use of logarithmic properties to make life easier:
+$$ \ln(\dfrac{x}{y}) = \ln(x) - \ln(y) $$
+$$ \ln(a^b) = b\ln(a) $$
+## Logarithmic Differentiation
+This is used when you want to take the derivative of a function raised to a function ($f(x)^{g(x)})$
+
+1. $\dfrac{d}{dx} x^x$
+2. $y = x^x$
+3. Take the natural log of both sides: $\ln y = \ln x^x$
+4. $\ln(y) = x*\ln(x)$
+5. Use implicit differentiation: $\dfrac{d}{dx} \ln y = \dfrac{d}{dx} x \ln x$
+6. Solve for $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$: $\dfrac{1}{y} \dfrac{dy}{dx} = 1 * \ln x + x * \dfrac{1}{x}$ 
+7. $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = (\ln x + 1) * y$
+8. Referring back to step 2, $y = x^x$, so the final form is:
+9. $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = (\ln(x) + 1)x^x$
+
+### Examples
+> Find the derivative of $(7x + 2)^x$
+
+1. $\ln y = \ln((7x+2)^x)$
+2. $\ln y = x*\ln(7x + 2)$ 
+3. $\dfrac{dy}{dx} \dfrac{1}{y} =  \dfrac{7x}{7x + 2} * \ln(7x+2)$ 
+4. $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = (\dfrac{7x}{7x+2} * \ln(7x+2))(7x+2)^x$
+
+> Find the derivative of the function $y = (2x \sin x)^{3x}$
+
+5. $\ln y = \ln (3x \sin x)^{3x}$ 
+6. $\ln y = 3x * \ln(2x \sin x)$
+7. $\dfrac{d}{dx} \ln(y) = \dfrac{d}{dx} 3x(\ln 2 + \ln x + \ln(sinx))$ 
+8. $\dfrac{1}{y} \dfrac{dy}{dx} = 3(\ln 2 + \ln x + \ln(\sin(x))) + 3x (0 + \dfrac{1}{x} + \dfrac{1}{\sin x} * \cos x)$
+9. $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = (3\ln 2 + 3 \ln x + 3\ln \sin(x) + 3\ln(\sin(x) + 3x\cot(x))(2x\sin x)^{3x}$ 
+# Chain Rule
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} f(g(x)) = f'(g(x))*g'(x) $$
+## Examples
+> Given the function $(x^2+3)^4$, find the derivative.
+
+Using the chain rule, the above function might be described as $f(g(x))$, where $f(x) = x^4$, and $g(x) = x^2 + 3)$.
+10. First find the derivative of the outside function function ($f(x) = x^4$):
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} (x^2 +3)^4 = 4(g(x))^3 ...$$
+11. Multiply that by the derivative of the inside function, $g(x)$, or $x^2 + 3$. 
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} (x^2 + 3)^4 = 4(x^2 + 3)^3 * (2x)$$ 
+> Apply the chain rule to $x^4$
+
+If we treat the above as a function along the lines of $f(x) = (x)^4$, and $g(x) = x$, then the chain rule can be used like so:
+$$ 4(x)^3 * (1) $$
+# Trig Functions
+$$ \lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{\sin x}{x} = 1 $$
+$$ \lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{\cos x - 1}{x} = 0 $$
+## Sine
+$$ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{\sin(x + h) - sin(x)}{h} $$
+Using the sum trig identity, $\sin(x + h)$ can be rewritten as $\sin x \cos h + \cos x \sin h$.
+
+This allows us to simplify, ultimately leading to:
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \sin x = \cos x$$
+## Cosine
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \cos x = -\sin x $$
+
+## Tangent
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \tan x = \sec^2x $$
+## Secant
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \sec x = \sec x * \tan x $$
+
+## Cosecant
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \csc x = -\csc x \cot x $$
+## Cotangent
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \cot x = -\csc^2 x $$
+## Arcsin
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}(\arcsin(x) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$$
+# Implicit Differentiation

+# Area Under a Curve
+The area under the curve $y = f(x)$ can be approximated by the equation $\sum_{i = 1}^n f(\hat{x_i})\Delta x$ where $\hat{x_i}$ is any point on the interval $[x_{i - 1}, x_i]$, and the curve is divided into $n$ equal parts of width $\Delta x$
+
+Any sum of this form is referred to as a Reimann Sum.
+
+To summarize:
+- The area under a curve is equal to the sum of the area of $n$ rectangular subdivisions where each rectangle has a width of $\Delta x$ and a height of $f(x)$.
+# Definite Integrals
+Let $f$ be a continuous function on the interval $[a, b]$. Divide $[a, b]$ into $n$ equal parts of width $\Delta x = \dfrac{b - a}{n}$ . Let $x_0, x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_3$ be the endpoints of the subdivision.
+
+The definite integral of $f(x)$ with respect to $x$ from $x = a$ to $x = b$ can be denoted:
+$$ \int_{a}^b f(x) dx $$
+
+And __can__ be defined as:
+$$ \int_a^b f(x) dx = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i = 1}^n f(x_i)\Delta x$$
+
+$f(x_i)$ is the *height* of each sub-interval, and $\Delta x$ is the change in the *x* interval, so $f(x_i) \Delta x$ is solving for the area of each sub-interval.
+
+- If your function is always positive, then the value of a definite integral is the area under the curve.
+- If the function is always negative, then the value of a definite integral is the area above the curve to zero.
+- If the function has both positive and negative values, the output is equal to the area above the curve minus the area below the curve.

+# Properties of Integrals
+1. $\int_a^a f(x)dx = 0$ - An integral with a domain of zero will always evaluate to zero.
+2. $\int_b^a f(x)dx = -\int_a^b f(x) dx$  - The integral from $a \to b$ is equal to the integral from $-(b\to a)$ 
+3. $\int_a^b cf(x) dx = c \int_a^b f(x) dx$ - A constant from inside of an integral can be moved outside of an integral
+4. $\int_a^b f(x) \pm g(x) dx = \int_a^b f(x) dx \pm \int_a^b g(x)dx$  - Integrals can be distributed
+5. $\int_a^c f(x)dx = \int_a^b f(x)dx + \int_b^c f(x)dx$  - An integral can be split into two smaller integrals covering the same domain, added together.
+
+# Averages
+To find the average value of $f(x)$ on the interval $[a, b]$ is given by the formula:
+
+Average = $\dfrac{1}{b-a} \int_a^b f(x)dx$ 
+
+# The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
+1. Let $f$ be a continuous function on the closed interval $[a, b]$ and let $F$ be any antiderivative of $f$, then:
+$$\int_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)$$
+2. Let $f$ be a continuous function on $[a, b]$ and let $x$ be a point in $[a, b]$.
+$$ F(x) = \int_a^x f(t)dt \Rightarrow F'(x) = f(x) $$
+This basically says that cancelling out the derivative from $a$ to $x$ can be done by taking the derivative of that equation. with respect to $x$.
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \int_a^{g(x)} f(t) dt = f(g(x)) * g'(x)* $$
+## Examples
+> Finding the derivative of an integral
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \int_2^{7x} \cos(t^2) dt = cos((7x)^2) * 7 = 7\cos(49x^2)$$
+> Finding the derivative of an integral
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx}\int_0^{\ln{x}}\tan(t) = \tan(\ln(x))*\dfrac{1}{x} $$
+> $x$ and $t$ notation *(note: the bar notation is referred to as "evaluated at")*
+$$ F(x) = \int_4^x 2t \space dt = t^2 \Big|_4^x  = x^2 - 16$$
+> $x$ in top and bottom
+$$ \dfrac{d}{dx} \int_{2x}^{3x} \sin(t) dt = \dfrac{d}{dx} -\cos(t)\Big|_{2x}^{3x} = \dfrac{d}{dx} (-\cos(3x) + cos(2x) = 3\sin(3x) - 2\sin(2x) $$
+
+# The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals
+If $f(x)$ is continuous over an interval $[a, b]$ then there is at least one point $c$ in the interval $[a, b]$ such that:
+$$f(c) = \dfrac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx $$
+This formula can also be stated as $\int_a^b f(x)dx = f(c)(b-a)$
+This theorem tells us that a continuous function on the closed interval will obtain its average for at least one point in the interval.
+
+# U-Substitution
+When you see $dx$ or $du$ in a function, it can be thought of as roughly analogous to $\Delta x$, where the change in $x$ is infinitesimally small.
+
+Thinking back to derivatives, when solving for $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$, you're solving for the rate of change of $y$ (across an infinitely small distance) over the rate of change of $x$ (across an infinitely small instance). Given that the *slope* of a line is described as $\dfrac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$, we know that $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ describes the slope of a line at a particular point.

+# Length of a Curve
+## Review of the Mean Value Theorem
+If $f$ is a continuous function on the interval $[a, b]$ and differentiable on $(a, b)$, then there exists a number $c$ in the interval $(a, b)$ such that:
+
+$$ f'(c) = \dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} $$
+
+This also implies that for some $c$ in the interval $(a, b)$:
+$$ f(b) - f(a) = f'(c)(b-a) $$
+
+## Intuitive Approach
+Given that we divide a curve into $n$ sub-intervals, and we can find the location of the right endpoint of each interval.
+
+With a series of points on a curve we can find the distance between each point.
+
+As we increase $n$, the precision of which the curve is estimated increases.
+
+This means that:
+$$ \text{length of a curve} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(\text{length of line segment)}$$
+Using the distance formula, we know that the length of the line segment can be found with:
+$$ \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} $$
+1. So the entire equation is:
+$$ \text{length of a curve} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(\sqrt{(x_i - x_{i-1})^2 + (y_i - y_{i-1})^2}) $$
+	This can also be described as:
+$$ \text{length of a curve} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(\sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 +(\Delta y)^2}) $$
+2. Using the mean value theorem:
+$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i = 1}^n\sqrt{\Delta x^2 + (f(x_i) - f(x_{i-1}))i^2} $$l
+$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^n \sqrt{\Delta x ^2 + (f'(x_{\hat{i}}))(x_i - x_{i-1})^2}$$
+3. Factoring out $\Delta x$
+$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^n \sqrt{\Delta x^2(1 + f'(x_{\hat{i}}))}$$
+4. Moving $\Delta x$ out of the root
+
+$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^n \sqrt{(1 + f'(x_{\hat{i}}))} \Delta x$$
+5. As an integral:
+$$ L =\int_a^b \sqrt{1 + f'(x)^2} dx$$
+## Examples

+
+# Area Between Curves
+If the area under the curve is found by approximating the space between the curve and the $x$ intercept, then the area *between* two curves can be found by approximating the space between the top curve and the bottom curve.
+
+Visualized as a set of rectangles, each rectangle would have a corner on the top curve, and a corner on the bottom curve, with a width of $\Delta x$.
+
+The height of the rectangle, or the distance between the curves at a given point can be found with the formula $f(x) - g(x)$ where $f(x) \ge g(x)$ 
+
+The Riemann Sum definition of the area between two curves is as follows:
+
+$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i = 1}^n (f(x_i)-g(x_i)\cdot \Delta x)$$
+- $i$ is the sub-interval
+- $x_i$ is the $x$ coordinate at a given sub-interval
+- $\Delta x$ is the width of each sub-interval.
+
+This sum can also be described as:
+$$ = \int_a^b(f(x)-g(x))dx $$
+
+Where the two lines intersect each other, you'll need to split the solution into a sum of integrals to ensure that $f(x) \ge g(x)$, by swapping the two.
+
+# Rotating a Solid Formed from a Rotation of a Plane Region
+Similar to finding the area between two curves, the volume can be found by approximating with rectangles.
+
+The area of each slice can be found by taking the area of the inner circle ($\pi r^2$) and subtracting it from the bigger circle ($\pi R ^2$). The area of a washer (or cylinder) can be found with $\text{base} * \text{height}$, and the height of each subsection is $\Delta x$. 
+
+The Riemann Sum definition is defined as follows:
+$$ \lim_{x \to \infty} \sum_{i = 1}^n ((\pi\cdot(f(x_i))^2-\pi\cdot(g(x_i))^2)\Delta x$$
+- $\Delta x$: The width of each section
+- $\pi * (f(x_i))^2$: The area of larger circle formed by $f(x_i)$
+- $\pi * (f(x_i))^2$: The area of smaller circle formed by $f(x_i)$

+# Introduction
+Every mathematical function can be thought of as a set of ordered pairs, or an input value and an output value.
+- Examples include $f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1$, and $\{(1, 3), (2, 5), (4, 7)\}$.
+
+**A limit describes how a function behaves *near* a point, rather than *at* that point.***
+- As an example, given a *well behaved function* $f(x)$ and the fact that:
+	- $f(1.9) = 8.41$
+	- $f(1.999) = 8.99401$
+	- $f(2.1) = 9.61$
+	- $f(2.01) = 9.061$
+	- $f(2.0001) = 9.0006$
+	We can note that the smaller the distance of the input value $x$ to $2$, the smaller the distance of the output to $9$. This is most commonly described in the terms "As $x$ approaches $2$, $f(x)$ approaches $9$", or "As $x \to 2$, $f(x) \to 9$."
+
+Limits are valuable because they can be used to describe a point on a graph, even if that point is not present.
+# Standard Notation
+The standard notation for a limit is:
+$$ \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L $$
+- As $x$ approaches $a$, the output of $f(x)$ draws closer to $L$. In the above notation, $x$ and $a$ are not necessarily equal.
+- When plotted, the hole is located at $(a, L)$.
+# Indeterminate Limits
+If they have a limit of the form $lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ where both $f(x) \to 0$ and $g(x) \to 0$ as $x \to a$ then this limit **may or may not** exist and is said to be an indeterminate form of type $\dfrac{0}{0}$.
+To find this limit if it exists we must perform some mathematical manipulations on the quotient in order to change the form of the function. Some of the manipulations that can be tried are:
+- Factor or Foil polynomials and try dividing out a common factor.
+- Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of a radical expression
+- Combine fractions in the numerator or denominator of a complex fraction
+
+# Limits of the Form $\frac{k}{0}, k \ne 0$
+If we have a one sided limit of the form $\lim_{x \to a^*} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ $f(x) \to k (k \ne 0)$ and $g(x) \to 0$ as $x \to a$ then:
+$$ \lim_{x \to a^*} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \infty \space or \space \lim_{x \to a^*} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = -\infty $$
+# Limits of the Form $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$
+If we have a limit of the form $\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ where both $f(x) \to \infty$ and $g(x) \to \infty$ as $x \to a$ then the limit may or may not exist and is said to be an indeterminate form of type $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$.
+
+To find the limit if it exists we must perform some algebraic manipulations on the quotient in order to change the form of the function.
+
+If $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are polynomials, then we can multiply the numerator and denominator by $\dfrac{1}{x^n}$, where $n$ is the degree of the polynomial in the denominator. 
+# Continuity
+A function is continuous if their graph can be traced with a pencil without lifting the pencil from the page.
+
+Formally, a function $f$ is continuous at a point $a$ if:
+- $f(a)$ is defined
+- $\lim_{x \to a} f(x)$  exists
+- $\lim_{x \to a} = f(a)$
+
+- A function is continuous on the open interval $(a, b)$ if it is continuous at all points between $a$ and $b$
+- A function is continuous on the closed interval $[a, b]$ if it is continuous at all points between $a$ and $b$
+
+# Elementary Functions
+An elementary function is any function that is defined using:
+- Polynomial functions
+- Rational functions
+- Root functions
+- Trig functions
+- Inverse trig functions
+- Exponential functions
+- Logarithmic functions
+- Operations of:
+	- Addition
+	- Subtraction
+	- Multiplication
+	- Division
+	- Composition
+
+A piece-wise function is *not*  considered an elementary function
+
+- If $f$ and $g$ are continuous at a point $x = a$ and $c$ is a constant then the following functions are also continuous at $x = a$
+- If $g$ is continuous at $a$ and $f$ is continuous at $g(a)$, then $f(g(a))$ is continuous at $a$
+- If $f$ is an elementary function and if $a$ is in the domain of $f$, then $f$ is continuous at $a$
+Together, the above theorems tell us that if $a$ is in the domain of an elementary function, then $\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = f(a)$.
+
+# Intermediate Value Theorem
+Let $f$ be a continuous function on the interval $[a, b]$ and let $N$ be any number strictly between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$. Then there exists a number $c$ in $(a, b)$ such that $f(c) = N$.

+# L'Hospital's Rule
+If you have a limit of the indeterminate form $\dfrac{0}{0}$, the limit can be found by taking the derivative of the numerator, divided by the derivative of the denominator.
+$$ \lim_{x \to 2} \dfrac{x-2}{x^2-4} = \lim_{x \to 2} \dfrac{1}{2x}$$
+
+L'Hospital's Rule can also be used when both the numerator and denominator approach some form of infinity.
+$$ \lim_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{x^2-2}{3x^2-4} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{2x}{6x}$$
+The above problem can be solved more easily *without* L'Hospital's rule, the leading coefficients are 1/3, so the limit as $x$ approaches $\infty$ is 1/3.
+
+L'Hospital's rule **cannot** be used in any other circumstance. 
+
+## Examples
+1. $\lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{7^x - 5^x}{2x}$
+2. $= \lim_{x \ to 0}\dfrac{7^x \ln(7) -5^x(\ln(5)}{2}$
+3. $= \dfrac{\ln(7) - \ln(5)}{2}$ 
+# Indeterminate form $(0 * \infty)$
+If the $\lim_{x \to a}f(x) = 0$  and $\lim_{x\to a} g(x) = \infty$ then $\lim_{x \to a}(f(x) * g(x)$ may or may not exist.
+
+To evaluate an indeterminate product ($0 * \infty$), use algebra to convert the product to an equivalent quotient and then use L'Hopsital's Rule.
+
+$$ \lim_{x \to 0^+} x\ln(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+}\dfrac{\ln x}{\dfrac{1}{x}} = \lim_{x \to 0^+} \dfrac{1/x}{-1/(x^2)} = \lim_{x \to 0^+} -x = 0 $$
+# Indeterminate form $(\infty - \infty)$:
+If the $\lim_{x \to a}f(x) = \infty$  and $\lim_{x \to a} (g(x)) = \infty$ , then $\lim_{x \to a}(f(x) - g(x))$ may or may not exist.

+# Indeterminate Powers

+

+The absolute **minimum** is the smallest possible output value for a function.

+A number is considered critical if the output of a function exists and $\dfrac{d}{dx}$ is zero or undefined.

+# Local Max/Min
+A local max/min is a peak or trough at any point along the graph.
+
+# Extreme Value Theorem
+If $f$ is a continuous function in a closed interval $[a, b]$, then $f$ achieves both an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum in $[a, b]$. Furthermore, the absolute extrema occur at $a$ or at $b$ or at a critical number between $a$ and $b$.
+
+## Examples
+> Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of the function $f(x) = x^2 -3x + 2$ on the closed interval $[0, 2]$:
+
+1. $x=0$ and $x=2$ are both critical numbers because they are endpoints. Endpoints are *always* critical numbers because $\dfrac{d}{dx}$ is undefined.
+2. $\dfrac{d}{dx} x^2 -3x + 2 = 2x -3$
+3. Setting the derivative to zero, $0 = 2x - 3$
+4. Solving for x, we get $x = \dfrac{3}{2}$. Three halves is a critical number because $f'(\dfrac{3}{2})$ is $0$. 
+5. Now check the outputs for all critical numbers ($f(x)$ at $x = \{0, 2, \dfrac{3}{2}\}$)
+6. $f(0) = 0^2 -3(0) + 2 = 2$
+7. $f(2) = 2^2 - 3(2) + 2) = 0$
+8. $f(\dfrac{3}{2}) = (\dfrac{3}{2})^2 - 3(\dfrac{3}{2}) + 2 = -\dfrac{1}{4}$
+9. The minimum is the lowest of the three, so it's $-\dfrac{1}{4}$ and it occurs at $x = \dfrac{3}{2}$ 
+10. The maximum is the highest of the three, so it's $2$ at $x = 0$.
+
+
+> Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of the function $h(x) = x + 2cos(x)$ on the closed interval $[0, \pi]$.
+
+ 1. $x = 0$ and $x = \pi$ are both critical numbers because they are endpoints. Endpoints are critical because $\dfrac{d}{dx}$ is undefined.
+ 2. $\dfrac{d}{dx} x + 2\cos(x) = 1 - 2sin(x)$ 
+ 3. Setting that to zero, we get $0 = 1 - 2\sin(x)$
+ 4. $\sin(x) = \dfrac{1}{2}$ 
+ 5. In the interval $[0, \pi]$, $\sin(x)$ has a value of $\dfrac{1}{2}$ in two places: $x = \dfrac{\pi}{6}$ and $x = \dfrac{5\pi}{6}$. These are both critical numbers because they are points where $\dfrac{d}{dx}$ is zero.
+ 6. Now we plug these values into the original function:
+ 7. $h(0) = 0 + 2\cos 0 = 2$
+ 8. $h(\pi) = \pi + 2\cos(\pi) = \pi - 2 \approx 1.14159$
+ 9. $h(\dfrac{\pi}{6}) = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + 2\cos(\dfrac{\pi}{6}) = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + 2(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + \sqrt{3} \approx 2.2556$ 
+ 10. $h(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}) = \dfrac{5\pi}{6} + 2\cos(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}) = \dfrac{5\pi}{6} - \sqrt{3} \approx 0.88594$

-## Historical, Superficial
-Franz Liszt was a huge fan of Paganini because of his incredible skill, and the technicality of his music. This led him to set out and compose a set of etudes[^1] inspired from Paganini's works. He originally released them in 1838 as the "Études d'exécution transcendante d'après Paganini", then revised them in 1851, dedicating the later revision to Clara Schumann[^2]. He made this revision because the first versions were so absurdly difficult that they were considered impossible to play by many. Even after the revision, many consider these some of the most technically demanding works in piano literature.

+# Synthesis
+A specific order of amino acids is needed to formulate a protein. 
+
+# DNA
+- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) provides instructions for making proteins.
+	- **Genes** are a portion of DNA
+	- To make proteins, cells assemble amino acids into specific sequences according to information from DNA
+- A **peptide bond** is a chemical attraction that connects two amino acids together
+
+# DNA Process
+1. Protein synthesis begins when a section of DNA unwinds, exposing a single portion (a gene). The gene contains coded info about the order of amino acids that comprise a specific protein
+2. The gene undergoes **transcription**, that is, the sequence of amino acids copied is copied in a special manner, forming **messenger  RNA** (mRNA) in the process.
+3. mRNA transforms the information concerning the amino acid sequence form the nucleus to **ribosomes**, protein manufacturing sites in cytoplasm.
+4. During the **translation** process, ribosomes "read" mRNA. The coded instructions indicate which amino acid to add to the polypeptide chain and its sequence.
+5. Each specific **transfer RNA** (tRNA) molecule conveys a particular amino acid to the ribosome.
+6. At the ribosome, the amino acid that has been delivered by the tRNA attaches to the peptide chain, lengthening it. 
+7. When the translation process is complete, the ribosome release the polypeptide, and the new protein generally undergoes further processing at other sites within the cytoplasm.
+
+Summary:
+- Transcription: DNA unwinds, gene gets copied forming mRNA, happens in the nucleus
+	- DNA -> mRNA
+- Translation: mRNA give info to ribosomes and they "read" mRNA. trNA gets each amino acid and brings it to the ribosome to be attached to the peptide chain. Happens in **cytoplasm**.
+	- mRNA -> ribosomes, ribosomes read mRNA -> tRNA grabs the amino acid needed -> ribosomes create peptide chain
+
+# Protein Structure
+- The shape of protein is important because it influences the compound's function
+- Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia.
+- **Denaturation** alters a protein's natural shape and function by exposing it to conditions such as heat, acids, and physical agitation. This change is permanent. 
+
+# In Foods
+- Animal foods generally provide higher amounts of protein than similar quantities of plant foods.
+- Certain parts of plants provide more protein than other parts
+	- Seeds, tree nuts, legumes supply more
+	- Fruits or edible leaves, roots, flowers, and stems of vegetables provide less
+- Legumes are parts of plants that produce pods with a single row of seeds.
+	- Peas
+	- Peanuts
+	- Lentils
+	- Soybeans
+- High quality (complete) protein is a protein that contains all essential amino acids in amounts that support the deposition of protein in tissues and the growth of a young person.
+	- Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, **milk**
+- Low quality (incomplete) protein is a protein that lacks or has inadequate amounts of one or more of the essential amino acids
+- A limiting amino acid is the essential amino acid found in the lowest concentration of a particular protein source\
+
+- A healthy adult's RDA for protein is **0.8 g/kg** (apparently low)
+- Protein needs increase during
+	- Pregnancy
+	- Breastfeeding
+	- Periods of rapid growth
+	- Recovery
+		- Serious illness
+		- Blood losses
+		- Burns
+
+# Digestion
+- Protein digestion begins in the stomach
+- Hydrochloric acid denatures food proteins and activates pepsin
+	- Gastric enzymes that break proteins down into smaller polypeptides
+- After polypeptides enter the small intestine, the pancreas secretes protein splitting enzymes.
+- Trypsin and chymotrypsin
+- Enzymes released by absorptive cells break down shortened peptides into dipeptides and tripeptides
+	- Two and three amino acids respectively
+- Amino acids are carried to absorptive cells by carrier systems
+- After absorption, amino acids enter the capillary of villus
+	- Travel to liver via hepatic portal vein
+	- Liver keeps some amino acids
+		- Release the rest into circulation
+- Protein turnover is the cellular process of breaking down proteins and recycling their amino acids.
+	- Endogenous is a source of nitrogen from within the body
+	- Exogenous is a source of nitrogen from outside the body

+# Water soluble vitamins
+- Water soluble vitamins are the **B-vitamins**: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid, folate, biotin, vitamin B-12, and **vitamin C**.
+	- They dissolve in water
+	- **Very limited amounts are stored** with the exception of B-12
+	- **Kidneys will filter out excess water soluble vitamins**
+	- Less likely to be toxic
+
+# Oxidization
+- An *oxidizing agent* is a substance that removes electrons from atoms or molecules
+- A *free radical* is a substance (C, H, O) with an unpaired electron
+	- Highly reactive, damages and destroys molecules
+- **Antioxidants (Vitamin E, C)** are substances that **give up electrons to free radicals to protect cells**
+
+# Vitamin Intake
+**Bioavailability** is the amount of a vitamin available for use in the body
+- Factors that affect how available a vitamin is include:
+	- How long it takes the vitamin to pass through the intestinal tract
+	- Certain health conditions that affect the absorption of facts
+	- By cooking with a little bit of fat, you better absorb fat soluble vitamins from that meal.
+- Natural sources of vitamins typically provide higher availability
+It's important to preserve the vitamin content of food, ways to do so include:
+- Avoid decaying, wilting, or bruised fruits or vegetables
+- Fresh produce should refrigerated at high humidity, away from the open air
+- Exposure to excessive heat, alkaline (salty) substances, light, and air can all reduce the vitamin content of food
+- **Vegetables should be cooked in small amounts of water, using quick cook methods**
+
+# Water Soluble Vitamins
+Water soluble vitamins dissolve in watery components of food and the body. Most excess water soluble vitamins are filtered through the kidneys and eliminated in urine, whereas fat soluble vitamins are stored in large amounts.

-# Campaign Points
-https://www.donaldjtrump.com/issues
-## Economic
-### Data
-Trump's published economic policy points include reducing taxes for the middle class, increasing the child tax credit, and attempting to increase job opportunities by "slashing job-killing regulations". His campaign website argues that he increased "real wages" and household income, while poverty went down during his time in office. He promises to lower taxes, increase paychecks, and increase job opportunities. 
-### Analysis
-## Budgetary
-## Social
-
-## Foreign Policy
-Trump's campaign website argues that we cannot have free and open trade when some other countries are exploitative of it. He primarily focuses on changes he made during his time in office, including stopping the Trans-Pacific Partnership, replacing NAFTA with USMCA, and talks about fixing "unfair" foreign trade policies, and implementing tariffs. For his 2024 campaign, he promises to reduce reliance on China, specifically in the medical, security, and infrastructure industries. 
-
-Trump's campaign website also argues that he will secure the \[southern] border. 
-
-## Gun Control
-
-## Energy/Environmental
-Trump's campaign website argues that during his time in office, the United States became the number one producer of oil and natural gas by approving the Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines, opening federal lands and offshore areas for production, and ending the Paris Climate Accord. For his future policies, he argues that he can bring energy independence, lower the prices of various energy sources, and eliminate the Green New Deal.

-- The case was over the constitutional right to freedom of the press, and whether or not the school had a right to censor a school paper.
-- Students at hazelwood east high school wrote articles in the school newspaper about teen pregnancy, and the impact of divorce. 
-- When the articles were published in a school sponsored newspaper, the principal deleted the pages that contained the stories prior to publication without telling the students. 
-- The students took their case to a District Court in St. Louis, and the trial court ruled that the school had the authority to remove those articles.
-- The students then appealed the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and it reversed the lower court, and found that the paper was a "public forum", and that school officials could only censor content under extreme circumstances.
-- In a 5-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the principal's actions did not volate the students' free speech. The Court noted that the paper was sponsored by the school, and that it had legitimate interest in preventing the publication of articles it deemed inappropriate. They ruled that the school paper was not a public forum, it was a limited forum that served as a learning exercise for journalism students.

-Notes on Think Again, by Adam Grant. 
-## Chapter 3
-### Main idea
-- People build more developed belief systems and improve if they are willing to challenge their beliefs.
-- It's unhealthy to hold beliefs and defend them so aggressively
-- Being wrong and recognizing that is healthy
-- Recognize when a reaction is emotional, and a defense of the ego, rather than intellectual, and a defense of the idea.
-- Do not base a personality around ideas, base it around broad, positive values. The material changes, but values can be applied to the material in infinite ways.
-### Personal reflection
-> Think about yourself personally, which group would you be more likely to identify with: the group who hated being challenged, or the group who thought that the abusive challenges were fun? Explain your POV.
-
-I believe I do not fit into either group, and would react differently in many different ways, depending on the context at hand. For a long time, I would defend my beliefs aggressively, and was confident that my perspective was more correct. I made no attempt at attempting to understand the motivations behind the opposing viewpoint, and spent most of my time taking an axe to nuance, working to prove the opposing viewpoint wrong, rather than trying to understand it, and look for the flaws in my own viewpoint. I believe I am getting better at understanding opposing viewpoints, but would still find the experience unpleasant, and react poorly. 
-
-### Relation to poli sci
-The political system in the United States is composed primarily of a two party system. If a candidate wishes to have any chance of being elected, they must appeal to one of the two parties. If a candidate doesn't align closely enough to the beliefs of the party, then they have a significantly worse chance of winning. Anyone who attempts to question ideas, may be considered a 'fake' republican | democrat. Each party conforms to a stringent beliefs system, and many of the viewpoints are held, simply because they're the opposite of the other party. This whole system discourages reflection and improvement, holding on to ideas that stagnate and grow convoluted, holding bitterly onto one 'correct' viewpoint. 
-
-### Quotes
-"Values are your core principles in life - they might be excellence and generosity, freedom and fairness, or security and integrity. Basing your identity on these kinds of principles enables you to remain open minded about the best ways to advance them" (Grant 64).
-
-"When they define themselves by values rather than opinions, they buy themselves the flexibility to update their practices in light of new evidence" (Grant 64).
-
-"When I asked him about how he stays in that mode, he said he refuses to let his ideas become part of his identity" (Grant 62).
-
-"Attachment. That's what keeps us from recognizing when our opinions are off the mark and rethinking them. To unlock the joy of being wrong, we need to detach" (Grant 62).
-
-"When a core belief is questioned, though, we tend to shut down rather than open up" (Grant 59).
-
-"If you want to be a better forecaster today, it helps to let go of your commitment to the opinions you held yesterday" (Grant 69).

+# PLA (Polylactic acid)
+| Pros                                                                                                                                 | Cons                                                                                                                                                  |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| - Easy to print<br>- Very cheap<br>- Widely available<br>- Prints quickly<br>- Prints well<br>- Stiffest non-composite thermoplastic | - Can permanently deform with consistent load application<br>- Not UV resistant<br>- Warps under heat<br>- Shatters<br>- Difficult to sand/glue/paint |
+## Variants
+### Silk PLA
+Silk PLA has an additive to make prints shinier. This weakens the print, but it makes supports easier to remove. When silk PLA heats up, it puffs up and this can damage the extruder. 
+
+Silk PLA trades performance for aesthetics and can damage both a Bambu AMS and a Prusa MMU.
+
+### PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber PLA)
+Carbon fiber PLA is made by adding chopped or ground PLA to the filament. It does not typically improve the strength of prints, but it stabilizes the filament as it cools (preventing warping and shrinkage), and it can improve detail. 
+
+The addition of carbon fiber makes the end product stiffer, but more brittle. PLA-CF is one of the best filaments for detail oriented printing. It's overall a better filament than PLA, with the only drawbacks being a hardened steel nozzle requirement, and lack of color options. 
+
+### Metal-filled PLA
+Metal filled PLA is made by adding metal shavings to the filament during production. This makes the print heavier and infuses the print with some of the properties of the metal added. Copper infused filament can gain a patina, stainless steel infused filament can be polished, iron is magnetic, et cetera et cetera.
+
+The addition of metal particulate reduces the strength of the print and makes it more brittle. Metal-filled PLA is extremely expensive, difficult to print with, and anything that can be achieved with metal-filled PLA can also be achieved using paint, inserts, or some form of electroplating.
+
+### Wood-filled PLA
+Wood-filled PLA is  comprised of sawdust, and PLA. Cheap wood-filled PLA looks brown and has no particular wood-like qualities, but higher quality WF-PLA has visible chips of wood. This impacts the print by giving it a wood-like texture and allowing you to use varnish on the print.
+
+WF-PLA is difficult to print with, it easily absorbs humidity and sputters from the nozzle. The resulting product is also weaker.
+
+### PLA Alloys
+This category of PLA is created by combining PLA with another plastic additive to change the properties of the resulting filament in some way.
+
+There are 3 primary categories of PLA alloys:
+1. "Tough" PLA
+Tough PLA is created by combining PLA with polybutylene terephthalate, or PBT. PBT is commonly used in keycaps for keyboards.
+
+Tough PLA prints and acts similarly to PLA, but it has higher temp and impact resistance, and it's less brittle. This is largely an upgrade to PLA with no real drawbacks.
+
+2. "Matte" PLA
+Matte PLA is created by combining PLA with a plant based additive.
+
+Matte PLA has a higher impact and shatter resistance than regular PLA, but it absorbs humidity more easily and is more likely to jam in an extruder during printing. This is largely a side-grade to regular PLA, it makes a slightly different set of tradeoffs.
+3. "High speed" PLA
+High speed PLA has a lower melting temperature and a reduced viscosity, greatly increasing the speed at which it can be printed at.
+
+# PCL (Polycaprolactone)
+PCL has an extremely low melting point, printing at just 100 Celsius. The melting point is so low that you can shape it in a warm bath, or with a hair dryer.
+
+It has a warm waxy consistency that no adhesive will stick to.
+
+# PETG/PET-G (Polyethylene terephthalate-glycol)
+
+| Pros                                                                                                                       | Cons                                                                                                                                        |
+| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| - Tougher<br>- Better temperature resistance<br>- Highly transparent<br>- Very low coefficient of friction.<br>- Food safe | - Slightly more difficult to print than PLA<br>- Struggles with overhangs<br>- Struggles with support removal<br>- High humidity absorption |
+## Variants
+### PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber PETG)
+Carbon fiber stabilizes molten filament, and given that PETG struggles with overhangs, PETG-CF has massively improved print support quality, along with improved stiffness. 
+
+The combination of matte carbon fiber with shiny polyester tends to create a very unique, aesthetically pleasing finish.
+
+# PCTG (Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Pthalate-Glycol)
+PCTG is a newer, better, alternative to PETG, compared to PETG:
+
+| Pros                                                                                                                 | Cons                                                                        |

+| - Higher toughness<br>- Lower water retension<br>- Very little warping or sagging<br>- Almost perfect layer adhesion | - Supports are difficult to remove<br>- Expensive<br>- Not widely available |
+# PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
+PET is the foundation of PET-G, but without the addition of glycol as a plasticizer. Compared to PETG:
+
+| Pros                                                                                                                                                 | Cons                                                                                            |

+# ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate)
+Chemically similar to ABS, just better.
+
+| Pros                                                                                                                                                                   | Cons                                                               |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| - Very high temp resistance (past 100C)<br>- Very high UV resistance<br>- Matte surface finish<br>- Prints *very quickly*<br>- Greatly reduced warping compared to ABS | - Equally bad fumes as ABS<br>- Still somewhat difficult to print. |
+# HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
+Similar to ABS, but softer, waxier, and more flexible. 
+
+Has a very low density, works well for wearables and props. HIPS is commonly used as a support material for ASA or ABS because limonene will dissolve HIPS but does not impact other plastics in the styrene family (ABS, ASA).
+
+# Nylon
+Nylon filaments are engineering filaments. They're difficult to print but have excellent mechanical properties.

 Given that $x$ represents a natural number, and $s$ is the digit we're adding. In a standard binary system, adding $s$ to the least significant position means that in the new number $x$ (before the addition) now represents the Nth appearance of an even (when $s = 0$ ), or odd (when $s = 1$). With ANS, the goal is is to make that asymmetrical, so that you can represent more common values with a denser representation.
 
+# Arithmetic Coding
+Arithmetic coding works by taking a stream of data, and converting it into an infinitely precise number between $0.00$, and $1.00$. This is based off of the idea that the sum of the probability of all events happening will always amount to $100\%$. 
 
+For example, the probability of a coin flip resulting in tails is 50%, and the probability of a coin flip resulting in heads is 50%. The probability of a coin flip resulting in heads *or* tails is %100.
+
+If we wanted to keep track of the result of a series of coin flips, this could be done by subdividing a range. If the coin flip is between $0$ and $0.5$, then we know that the first flip must have been tails.
+
+If the coin flip is between $0.5$ and $1$, then we know that the first flip must have been heads.
+
+This subdivision process can be repeated infinitely to store an infinite number of coin flips by dividing each range again.
+
+To store two coin flips, you might have the first subdivision represent the outcome of the first coin flip, and the second subdivision represent the outcome of the second coin flip:
+
+| Range         | Result       |
+| ------------- | ------------ |
+| $0.00 - 0.25$ | Tails, Tails |
+| $0.25 - 0.5$  | Tails, Heads |
+| $0.50 - 0.75$ | Heads, Tails |
+| $0.75 - 1.00$ | Heads, Heads |
+Imagine a situation where we want to store all possible outcomes of three consecutive coin flips using a decimal number,  *Heads, Heads, Tails*. 
+Encoding this would happen as follows:
+1. First we subdivide the range by the probability of each event happening. The probability of each is 50%, so that's simple. Referring above, we know that heads is represented by the top half of the range, and tails is represented by the bottom half of the range.
+> Because the *first* coin flip resulted in *Heads*, the output value must be between $0.50$ and $1.00$. 
+2. Subdividing the range $0.50$ and $1.00$ again to store the results of the second flip, we end up with values between $0.50$ and $0.75$ representing the sequence *Heads, Tails*, and values between $0.75$ and $1.00$ representing the sequence *Heads, Heads*. 
+> Because the *second* coin flip resulted in *Heads*, we know that the output value must be between $0.75$ and $1.00$
+3. Subdividing the range $0.75$ and $1.00$ yet again, $0.750$ - $0.875$ means the third coin flip resulted in *Tails*, and a value in the range $0.875$ - $1.000$ means the third coin flip resulted in *Heads*
+> Because the *third coin flip resulted in *Heads*, any value between $0.875$ and $1.000$ encodes the fact that the first three coin flips went *Heads, Heads, Tails*.
+
+The decoding process performs the same series of steps, but by asking a question instead of outputting a value.
+1. Is the value between $0.00$ and $0.50$? If so, the first coin flip resulted in *Tails*. Otherwise if the value is between $0.50$ and $1.00$, the first coin flip resulted in *Heads*. 
+The above process can be repeated just like the encoding process until we've determined the result of the first three coin flips.
+
+These subdivisions can be encoded using $0$ and $1$, where $0$ represents the bottom half of the range, and $1$ represents the top half of the range. 
+
+When the alphabet is large enough that you can't select a particular outcome using one bit, multiple bits can be used instead to divide up and down the range.

+
+There are two categories of stropping, stropping on a clean substrate, and stropping on a substrate with compound.
+
+Stropping is done to reduce the width of the edge, and to help remove and align any burrs along the edge.
+# Clean Stropping
+Stropping on a clean substrate achieves 4 things:
+1. It realigns the edge
+2. It burnishes the metal (moves it without destroying it), making the edge smoother
+3. Abrasion - It makes scratches less defined and smooths out the blade
+4. Removes coating - Some blades come with a manufacturer applied oil, you can use a strop to remove this coating
+
+# Loaded Stropping
+With a loaded strop, abrasive compound is applied to the strop to increase the rate of abrasion. This compound is applied with the goal of reducing the width of the edge without the formation of a foil-edge burr. Loaded stropping tends to produce a micro-convex edge, meaning it's shaped a little bit like a teardrop, where it curves outwards from a straight angle the farther away from the vertex the edge goes. This effect is generally desirable.
+
+The effect of stropping happens quickly, within 3-30 laps, and 10 laps being the minimum needed to achieve the desired effect. Stropping past 30 achieves minimal change, and stopping past the hundreds may introduce a burr again.
+
+It was generally noted that when stropping with a very fine compound (eg, 0.25 micron), a small but consistent burr would form. When stropping with a coarse compound, a larger burr would occur, but one that formed unevenly. To achieve the best of both worlds, it's suggested that you start stropping with a coarse material, then move to a fine material.
+
+> Successfully designed stropping progression should involve different strop materials rather than different sized abrasives on the same substrate.
+
+I can't find the exact source, but it seems that denim and a loaded leather strop with between 0.5-0.25 micron compound would be ideal.
+## Strop Material
+There are a variety of stropping materials available for use, common materials include leather, denim, newspaper, washcloth, and balsa wood.
+### Balsa
+Because balsa wood is rigid and nearly incompressible, stropping on balsa produces minimal convexity. Micro convexity is still achieved.
+### Nanocloth
+Nanocloth is a soft, flexible material mounted on a hard, flat glass substrate. It's a synthetic polishing cloth sold by Ken Schwartz. It appears to achieve slightly more micro convexity than the balsa substrate.
+
+## Latigo (Bovine) Leather
+
+## Compound material
+### Chromium Oxide
+Chromium Oxide (green, waxy substance) is probably the most common stropping compound. While it's moderately effective, there are better options, and it's generally recommended that if you strop a blade on a chromium oxide loaded strop, you follow it up with fine abrasive or a clean leather strop.
+
+## Mono-diamond
+Mono crystalline diamond stropping compound comes in a wide variety of grit sizes, ranging from 0.1 micron, all the way up past 20 micron.
+
+| Compound size | Result                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| 0.25 micron   | After 10 laps on a bovine leather strop, it did not sufficiently remove the bur. With 100 laps, it got closer, but a noticeable bur was still present. 0.25 micron appears to remove material very slowly, almost too slowly, but it produces a fine finish. |
+| 0.5 micron    | After 10 laps on bovine leather, significantly more abrasion occurred than with the 0.25 micron compound. No significant change in edge geometry was noted compared to use of the 0.25 micron stropping compound.                                            |
+|               |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
+| 10 micron     | When stropping with 10 micron compound, it was noted that the entire bevel began to convex, and significant removal rate occurred. Large burrs were left on parts of the edge, but further stropping on linen and clean leather  would remove those burrs.   |
