1 A Note to the Reader

Hi! If you’re reading this, you’re either a previous student reading back on old content, a current student trying to get ahead, or someone who stumbled on one of my programming pages. As I promised my students, this course website will remain until bookdown.org expires (or I do).

This website stands as a monolith to the first course I ever professionally instructed. I am incredibly proud of my students from this semester, they confirmed a passion for education I was previously uncertain of. To any of those previous students reading this, thank you for the joy you brought me. If any of you need a letter of recommendation, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Any information you’d need to contact me will be here.

To any other readers, know that this is website is (at best) \(25^{th}\) percentile quality. I made a significant amount of mistakes this semester, but a lot of them were encapsulated in this website. If I were reading this to extract the content from it, I would stay vigilant for errors/typos.

If you are a current student, don’t review this to try and get some kind of “edge” in your class. You’re already going to have all of the content given to you outright, and the course will have changes semester to semester.
