Handglovery

Introduction

This is a test post, and uses several different features of Jekyll so I can become familiar with it! (This reminded me of handglovery).

Let’s try some code

Here is some code, in python.

def fib(n):
  if n < 2:
    return 1
  return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)

This can be sped up significantly if it is memoized. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to implement this and show fast of a speedup it is.

Let’s try some math

Here is some math (this is Euler’s identity, and is perhaps the most beautiful thing in all of mathematics):

(Edit: you might say that this is just composing definitions and there is nothing interesting happening here. Still… you’re probably right.)
