ReadingNotes

Since Mar 20, 2016

This is a collection of my book reading notes. Notes taken while reading thesis/review might also be included.

For notes written in Markdown, I recommend a Chrome extension Github with Mathjax to render equations written in TeX. You might need to refresh the page once.
