Math & Engineering is a personal blog at xn--2-umb.com about math and programming. Since 2022, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times, most often “A short introduction to Approximation Theory”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-09-26, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for its explanation of the Remez algorithm, a method for polynomial approximation. One commenter, in a thread on implementing cosine in C, called it a very good explanation.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Random collections of my notes and articles over the years, mostly about maths and/or engineering.
