Hello, I'm Marcus Chan :D
I'm currently in my fourth-year of my BCS Data Science degree at the University of Waterloo.
In my spare time I enjoy working on software projects, messing around with data on Kaggle, learning more about machine learning and AI, going rock climbing, composing and improvising new pieces on the piano, or just binging the latest anime show I got hooked on.

My Personal Notes
Here I post my notes for both my university and high school courses, which were handwritten on my iPad using the app GoodNotes 5. These are adapted from the original professor's / lecturer's notes, and will often contain diagrams, screenshots from the reference materials. I get each professor's permission prior to posting my notes for the course on my website, and credit them at the front of the notes.
