T>T: Introduction

Nearly everyone has had influential teachers throughout their school years. I can list several notable candidates, but truthfully the best teacher has always been the internet. It is something a lot of us take for granted, and seldom utilise to its fullest potential.

I aim to try and give back to the community, posting about scientific, mathematical and programming related problems that I encounter in my research and how I overcome them or just a random, cool, project or problem I decided to solve. This will hopefully lead to a post library which people can benefit from if they by chance stumble upon it. I want it to be a place to sit back and relax with a hot beverage and just learn about something cool without the ingestion of cookie notifications, newsletter subscriptions, popups and mind-numbing adverts. It will always be kept clean, simple and ad-free. I also need to add here that no AI will be used to generate posts. I will discuss AI and use it to solve some of the problems, but all the text and code will be hand written by myself.

The name “Textbook to Terminal” or “T > T” for short is making a bad pun out of the bash redirection command >. There is often a large disconnect between published mathematics/science and how to program it effectively which hopefully I can help to address in these posts. If you have any ideas or methods you would like covered in a blog post feel free to message me.
