This repository contains a compendium of random notes I took while in graduate school at MIT. They certainly contain typos, errors, and incorrect statements based on an incomplete understanding of the material at the time they were written. Nevertheless they may be of value to myself and others.

In fluids check if the following equality true:

$\underline{\nabla}\cdot(\underline{v}\underline{v})=\underline{v}\cdot\underline{\nabla}\underline{v}$

Remove code as imported files and inline it? Consider whether having code blocks in text that are more than 100 lines long. If code is too long to inline in the .tex body, it's probably too long to have in the document anyway and should be removed and linked.
