New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom."

Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.
