Notes
I do not have a deep formal background in the mathematical topics used in computational biology and I have found it helpful to create clean, organized notes in order to solidify my understanding. It occurred to me that these notes may be useful to others, so I will periodically post them here. There may be errors in these notes. Let me know if you find anything that can be improved.
