In this level-0 post, we figure out how many ways we can organize a gift exchange.

There’s Something About Gamma
In this level-1 post, we take a closer look at Euler’s generalization of the factorial, and see how it makes sense even when it blows up.
Root-finding Fractals
In this level 0 post, we will investigate Newton’s method for finding the roots of a function. Then, we will see how this process can induce chaos and find some fractals hidden inside.
Crossing the Street – Pt. 3
In this final part to our level 2 mathematical modelling series, we move to a different way of solving our street crossing problem: numerics. We go over discretization of the problem, how to simulate it, and compare with results from part 2.
Crossing the Street – Pt. 1
In this level 2 post, we start the process of a 3-part mathematical modelling series, which will culminate in the answer to one of the most important questions of all time: How should I cross the street?
