Notes

My journey through the molecular world. From Clayden to orbitals to reaction mechanisms — this is where I document my understanding.

My story with algorithms can be traced back to my childhood, a journey you can glimpse on this page. Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence has already been able to solve a wide range of algorithmic problems, especially models like Claude, but I have my own reflection about it. It raises a similar question, in this day and age with advanced formatting technologies(such as word processing software), why do we still learn to write with pen or pencil ? And, with advanced mathematics computing softwares including Mathematica and MATLAB, why do we still emphasize the importance of mathematics computing ? I hold the firm belief that the principle is the same, the pursuit of essential and in-depth advancements or achievements is a human endeavor. To make optimal use of tools including digital writing software and Artificial Intelligence, we must have a deep comprehension of their core. Most importantly, there is no denying that learning writing, calculation, algorithm and any other cognitive skills has a significant effect on human ability growth. ...
