yes I meant Lévy I don't really know what went through my head. I also have to say that you don't need to have a strong intuition for differential equations even through they are very related. Stochastic calculus can be studied en

During my university studies, I found it surprising that although some topics from advanced courses might be applicable in certain jobs like at Jane Street, interviews often emphasised the fundamentals and understanding of basic concepts su

Once again the comments prove that people are more interested in trash-talking C++ than than solving real problems. C++20 IS fixing many complaints or design-choices made in the past. In terms of the article it casually mentions in the end
