Linguistics

Are you interested in learning about linguistics? There are two parallel tracks that you can read. The first goes into how languages can vary and change, and the second goes into the major components of theoretical linguistics - sounds/symbols, structure, and meaning.

Math

So far, since most people don’t start math from the fundamentals like they do for linguistics, my math blog posts aren’t necessarily meant to be read in any order, and their topics are more random, so you can just read whichever ones you like. However, I imagine that in the future, they might have more relatedness.
