Unless this is a numeric simulation where performance really matters, the correct answer is that you should not be using floats in the first place. Use a rational type, or scaled i…

If you have experience solving hard problems that helps. I had the good fortune of doing so in graduate school. That lead to a job solving another totally unrelated hard problem, w…

When I was an undergrad and graduate student I got into the habit of always doing the readings pencil in hand, which involves filling in the details of the important proofs, and do…

That is funny, every time I see a course with a bunch of video lectures and no notes and reading list I move on. My strong preference for on-line learning is a reading list, ideall…
