A note from Rowan C.

I like a problem with edges.

The spreadsheet with one rule nobody wrote down. The page that almost works. The small task that keeps getting pushed to next week.

Show the workings.

I prefer a runnable example to a long list of adjectives. The workbench has source files, sample inputs and actual outputs. You can inspect what each example does and where it stops.

A working rule

A green check only helps if you know what was checked.

That is why the public demonstrations name their fixtures, tests and limits.

Keep the handover boring.

Clear filenames. Written assumptions. A short way to run the work again. The interesting part should be the result, not figuring out what arrived in your inbox.

What I am learning.

I am following a self-study path using MIT's 2024-25 Brain and Cognitive Sciences curriculum as a guide, beginning with calculus and its prerequisites. I am not enrolled at MIT and have not earned institutional credit.

The connection that interests me is how a description becomes a model, and what gets lost along the way. Current notes move between mathematical domains, writing and software boundaries.

A practice in progress.

The examples here are self-directed work. I will label commissioned work separately if it can be shared. For now, judge what is on the bench.
