Nice but, completely off-topic, how is it possible that with uBlock Origin and behind Pi-Hole I get two banners on the right? This is the first place that I remember where it happens!

A day early?

It's never too early to spread some good feelings, though

heres the same thing on desmos, my favorite free graphing calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lvespenn07

Desmos is the best thing ever! I'm certain I would not have passed Calc without it. I always struggled with math and put it off till the last year of grad school (funny enough, you can get into grad school for CS without it). I only ended up doing calc because with it work could pay me ~$20k more.

I can't believe any respectable school would let in a CS grad student without calculus. Linear algebra is really important, too, but you have to know calculus to do much of the math behind circuits. Good for you for doing it even though it wasn't required.
