In grad school, I had a number of toy models and I got to use some of my favorite tools in my research&#x2F;thesis write up.<p>For me, one of my favorite tools was a form of perturbation theory which I could apply to all sorts of things. Didn&#x27;t always work, and I think I annoyed my thesis advisor with it.

About halfway through TFA;<p>“Things start to get technical from here, but...”<p>Gee, thanks for the warning! &lt;&#x2F;s&gt;
