Applied mathematics
Notes on how mathematical methods work in practice — optimization, probability, numerical analysis, and modeling. Concrete problems, clean reasoning, and honest explanation of where theory meets reality. Covering techniques that actually show up in engineering, data science, and computational work. Each post breaks down a specific idea or method, with focus on intuition and application over formalism.
