Hi! I’m Olly Britton. I’m an undergraduate currently studying mathematics and computer science at Christ Church, Oxford. This site contains a lot of things:

My notes on exciting courses that I’ve taken as part of my degree so far, mostly in the form of around $10^5$ flashcards on different proofs, theorems, and the implications between them, for example:
- [[Notes - Rings and Modules HT24, Structure theorems]]^U
- [[Notes - ADS HT24, NP-hardness and NP-completeness]]^U
- [[Course - Complex Analysis MT23]]^U
- For a list of everything and an explanation of my general note-taking process, see:
- [[University Notes]]^U
- [[A-Level Notes]]^A
Blog posts that I hope other people will find interesting, for example:
- [[Can you ever draw in 3D noughts and crosses?]]^B
- [[Analytics with Caddy and Shynet]]^B
- [[Number-theoretical considerations for your next card game]]^B
- For a list of all blog posts, see:
- [[Blog Posts]]^B
My notes from outside of university, where recently I’ve been learning about language, computational complexity and rationality, for example:
- Reading [[The Unfolding of Language, Deutscher]]^N
- Reading [[Quantum Computing Since Democritus, Aaronson]]^N
- For a list of everything, see:
- [[Bookshelf]]^N
- [[Misc Notes]]^N
…and other random things I’ve decided to share:
- [[Favourite Media]]^M
- [[Projects]]^M
- For a list of everything, see:
- [[Misc]]^M

Many of the pages on here weren’t originally written for an audience, so for that reason they might be a bit confusing – this is especially true for my [[A-Level Notes]]^A. For some more info about how this website is made and how you can get around, take a look in [[About this website]]^B.

What’s with all the colourful links? These are wikilinks, and take you to the corresponding post with that title. The colour indicates the category: university notes, blog posts, personal notes, and misc.
