This blog came about for a number of reasons.
In undergrad I could be reasonably sure of finding supplementary lectures on YouTube for whatever math class I was enrolled in. Unsurprisingly, as I entered grad school this type of resource became increasingly scarce. I noticed this drought especially in the area of probability as well as the measure theory and real analysis needed for probability at the graduate level. I played with the idea of producing some content of my own in these areas.
For some time I had wanted to pursue probability as my field of choice and determined to take my candidacy exams in this subject. I thought making a blog might be a good way to study.
Finally, the Covid-19 pandemic began (and is in full swing at time of writing) and forced all education online. The courses I taught transition to the internet and I began producing content for these.
I figured since I was producing math content anyway I might as well produce some for fun and my own selfish gain. Thus, the blogging began.
I’ll try and make it somewhat enjoyable on the off chance someone ever stumbles across this. Maybe I will force my future students to visit the blog and get that view count up.
