Supplemental Mathematics
I was writing the post (En) Systems Biology and needed to use mhchem for chemical reaction typing.
In English
A great opportunity for me to re-learn Mathematical Methods for Physicists, or even linear algebra…
The math you get used to and the math you understand are different. You may first get used to some math, and then it may take years to understand. –Prof Frank Kschischang This is an informal oral statement from our lectures. I relate to this statement so much that I would like to put it down here.
I started an interesting new category - supplementary mathematics of supplementary information of selected papers, abbr. as “Supp-of-Supp”. I am writing down page-after-page detailed but non-trivial mathematical derivations for the non-intuitive equation that suddenly appears and kills me when reading the papers, which are closely related to my research topics and similar crucial mathematical skills.
It is a great idea to write all the courses I took in my fourth year in English, since we were exposed to a lot of papers and textbooks in English, although the courses were delivered in Chinese!
I love this course offered by Prof Xiao-Peng Zhang the Kuang Ya Ming Honors School at NJU. The course were delivered in Chinese but all the lecture slides are in English. I also finished my course thesis in English. This great course leaded us to understand research papers in this field by teaching us crucial math involved.

I use matplotlib.pyplot to generate plots. When you show the plots in my Spyder or Jupyter Notebook IDEs and save them by clicking, the default format is .png. However, in scientific publications, we use vector images to make sure they work well when embedded in text (i.e. the dots and captions do not blur when zooming in and zooming out).
