8.3 due November 28

It took me a while to figure out why we used D(t-s) instead of D(t).

I like Fourier series and the way they decompose waves.

7.2 due November 19

The thing I didn't understand about this section is why we need to use a distribution Q instead of just sampling uniformly (which I guess is a distribution...) when we are trying to do rejection sampling. I think it is because it speeds things up as it will have fewer rejections than a rectangle would. This section seems like we are learning more of what we just learned. I understand most of it, but I'm not sure I would recognize when I should use any of the techniques in this section.

1.8 due September 19

The thing I find most difficult in this section is following the proofs. While they make sense, they are not as intuitive as the proofs we've done in the past for me. I found it funny that I was mildly surprised for a second that the Euclidean algorithm came from Euclid. Apparently I thought it had to be from China because in my head it is irrevocably connected to the Chinese Remainder theorem.

3.4 due October 5

The trickiest thing for me in this section is understanding the implications of what we are learning. I can read and understand most of the section but I don't always catch or remember how that applies when I'm programming. It has been fun to see how the math applies in the real world and makes a difference. I like that.
