Like many experts in their field, I am acutely aware of all the ways in which the systems I work with can run optimally and how easily they can also break. Many software developers know and strive towards having resilient systems, built in the most elegant way possible. I used to take notes by hand in notebooks, and computers seemed very interesting to me back then. Because of this, I had a series of requirements which my writing system had to meet:</p>https://stau.space/posts/algorithms/Sun, 08 Dec 2024 20:18:33 -0400sona@stau.space (Sona Tau Estrada Rivera)https://stau.space/posts/algorithms/<p>So it was a fine summer morning. Our research team was about to start our project &ldquo;Counting Arithmetical Structures on Cycles with a Doubled Edge&rdquo;. From the description of the project it is immediately obvious that this kind of counting can be done by brute force, and me being the only computer scientist in my group of mathematicians I start coding up a couple algorithms for this.</p>
