How to use these notes
Start with the worked example in each chapter. Calculate the answer before changing the interactive figure, then use the self-check to test the distinction the chapter teaches. The numerical examples are deliberately small enough to audit by hand; they are teaching examples, not production benchmarks.
Follow the prerequisites when a concept is unfamiliar. Related notes link to existing foundations so each chapter can concentrate on its own question.
