Phase Plane plots of COVID-19 deaths with uncertainties
I. Introduction. It’s time to fulfill the promise made in “Phase plane plots of COVID-19 deaths“, a blog post from 2nd May 2020, and produce the same with uncertainty clouds about the functional trajectories(*). To begin, here are some assumptions … Continue reading

Overleaf: `#FuturePub London returned to a full house!’, 10 April 2019
I have switched from basic desktop MikTex to Overleaf for most of my day-to-day needs. They recently had a FuturePub session in London. I’m enthusiastic about their capability and degree of support, especially in their documentation.
