:: on linear complementarity problems

Solving systems of equations is the most important.
This Fall 2021, I am taking a course on computational game theory, which insofar is the formulation of various games (e.g. bimatrix, Stackelberg) as mathematical programs and the algorithms that solve them, or approximate solutions. Linear complementarity problems are foundational for computing Nash equilibria of simple games.

:: learning about quadcopters by building one

I used a soldering iron and a raspberry pi during lockdown to stay sane.
My introduction to quadcopters and robotics in which I learned a lot about the quad ecosystem and their constitution. However, I suggest following a smaller, cheaper, and more recent build guide. Although my naivete showed through here, my fascination with quads has not soured; check out my Tello face following and vSLAM project!
