Introduction

Hey, if you’re here, congratulations on making it to your second year of University! The first semester is probably going to be a little uphill, but after that everything becomes more relaxed (still academically challenging to some extent, but definitely more relaxed).

In this page I share my notes (which you will see are not abundant nor extremely useful), but I will mostly try to give a few tips on how to face the courses themselves and the exams. It is often trivial knowledge, but I’d rather have it written down somewhere.


First Semester

Miscellaneous Resources

I link here below some of the stuff I didn’t know existed (or that I didn’t know I had access to) in the 2nd year. They may not be fundamental, but as long as it’s useful for someone, I’ll leave it here.
