# Introduction

This is a collection of notes and observations on some of the books that I've read and courses that I've taken since late 2023. The exact format varies based on the topic and when I engaged with it, but it generally includes an overview of the main topics covered as well as a selection of the points that I consider to be the most important or interesting.

These notes are meant to supplement the more comprehensive ones that I keep in [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/), so they focus on the key takeaways rather than aiming to be exhaustive.
