Distinguishing all the letters in handwritten math/physics notes
Personally, I have the demand of handwriting math/physics notes, but an annoying fact about this is that I usually cannot distinguish every letter that may be possibly used well enough. In this article, I will try to settle this problem.

Introducing bra–ket notation to math learners
Bra–ket notation is a good-looking notation! I am sad that it is not generally taught in math courses. Let me introduce it to you.

Even solutions to bound states in an odd number of $\delta$ potential wells
We try solving the even function solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger equation for the potential $V=-\alpha\sum_{j=-n}^n\delta(x-ja)$ such that $E<0$ (bound states).

Defend our earth against aliens’ bullets!
The aliens intiated their attack to the earth! They shoot bullets with mass $m$ and speed $v$ from a far-awar planet. To defend, humans built a field $U=\alpha/r$ that can repel the bullets. What regions are safe? The answer turns out to be the interior of a circular paraboloid.

This is what will happen after you get a haircut
Denote the length distribution of one’s hair to be $f(l,t)$, where $l$ is hair length, and $t$ is time. Considering that each hair may be lost naturally from time to time (there is a probability of $\lambda\,\mathrm dt$ for each hair to be lost within time range from $t$ to $t+\mathrm dt$) and then restart growing from zero length, how will the length distribution of hair evolve with time? It turns out that we may model it with a first-order PDE.

The longest all-$1$ substring of a random bit string
Given your probability of breaking the combo at each note, what is the probability distribution of your max combo in the rhythm game chart? I considered the problem seriously!

I made this, for the number of days in a week is prime
The number of days in a week is prime, so we cannot utilize weekly periods to help us remember periodical events unless the period is a multiple of 7. However, there may be something that we need to get reminded of which happens once per two days or three days. For example, I wash my hair once per two days and wash my clothes once per eight days. To solve the problem, I wrote a Ruby program to help remind me of those routines.
