Amusing to see my last post — yep, I’ve been working on writing ~every day again, but so much of it is on (gasp!) paper or on my class textbook Math for Finance that it doesn’t show up here. Maybe I could find some whiz-bang app that would update here whenever I publish a new version of the math text.

Last April-May I was quite pregnant, so while teaching and grading were all getting done (and quickly, so that I could have everything wrapped up when maternity leave started at the end of the semester!) there was not quite so much writing up of class notes. I started including a multivariate version of Newton’s method in class last semester, but didn’t rewrite the course notes to include it. This year I’m working on that. (The course I teach at the University of Minnesota covers calculus in one and many variables, probability, a lot of linear algebra, and a touch of differential equations.)

This year I’m also trying to put together some quick Python notebooks illustrating concepts from class. I can’t post them as notebooks here; will try to get them on Github. Here they are!

Right: that’s one reason I’m writing less here. I blog from home; home has a kid; kid is crying. Adios!
