Latent Seminar
The more we know, the more ignorant we are.
About Latent Seminar
This latent seminar is purely for personal interests, and it is inspired by John Baez's website, which I followed since I was an undergraduate student. I found it fascinating to learn from a wide variety of topics. I used to keep a research blog (updated to 2020) to document some trivial thoughts but unfortunately paused during COVID-19.
The topics are random. The typeset is generated using Jupyter Notebooks with a conversion to HTML. Embedding code in Google site uses the snippet. The notes are available if you'd like them. Some of them could be lecture notes in the future.
The past topics are archived on separate pages.
