THE PROCESS

1. The dough spreads (things melt).
2. The edges set (before the center does).
3. The cookie rises (water from melting reacts with baking soda, which in turn reacts with acids).
4. Egg proteins and starches set (cookie's shape finalizes).
5. Sugar caramelizes (producing richer, sweeter flavors).
6. The Maillard reaction occurs (flour proteins and eggs brown with the sugar, producing nutty, toaster flavors).
7. The cookie cools (liquefied sugar hardens, producing toffee-like texture).

THE GOAL

// in C you can express metaphors, e.g. "Noon's house is a bear":

#include "stdio.h"

typedef struct {
    char *street;
    int street_number;
} noons_house_t;

typedef struct {

This was surprisingly simple given how many things there were to do! (Usually it seems like something breaks when there's this many steps between me and installing something.)

Installations

• Install Sublime Text 2
• Install Sublime Text's Package Control
• Configure things so you can open files with subl from command line
• Install SublimeREPL using Pacakge Control.
• Install homebrew
• Install leiningen by typing brew install leiningen at the command line.

Defintions

For some matrix A:

• A is symmetric ⇔ A = A'
• A is positive definite ⇔ for every non-zero vector x, x'Ax > 0
• A is non-singular ⇔ A is invertible ⇔ detA≠0 ⇔ there exists B such that AB = BA = I
• A is a distance matrix ⇔ A is symmetric and diag(A) = 0

Fun facts

1. A is non-singular ⇒ AA' is positive definite
2. A is symmetric ⇒ AA is positive definite

Definitions

SNR = Power(signal) / Power(noise)

Power(x(t)) = average Energy(x(t)) over all t

Energy(x(t)) = the area under |x(t)|^2

(Energy/power involve squaring the signal because you are interested in the magnitude of the signal and not just its amplitude. That's it.)
