--- title: "Math Notes for Builders" date: "2026-05-08" excerpt: "A compact starter post that keeps Math and Code tags populated while checking equation rendering." tags: - Math - Code - Web Dev author: "Starter Content" --- This replaceable note exists to keep the **Math**, **Code**, and **Web Dev** tag pages meaningful during early validation. ## Tiny model Inline math can express a quick estimate like $n \log n$, while display math can show the full relationship: $$ T(n) = O(n \log n) + O(k) $$ ## Practical reminder - Prefer simple explanations before formulas. - Add runnable code when it clarifies an idea. - Link back to related posts, such as the [starter showcase](/posts/starter-mdx-showcase/). ```js title="estimate.js" {1,4} export function estimate(items, constant = 1) { const n = Math.max(items.length, 1) return n * Math.log2(n) + constant } ```
