# Other online resources powered by Obsidian Publish Below are several sites that specifically use [Obsidian Publish](https://obsidian.md/publish) to present mostly technical notes. ## Erick James Dodge's _The Well of Memory_ Former UT Austin M.A. student [Erick James Dodge](https://indo-european.wiki/dodge) is engaged in a [project](https://publish.obsidian.md/pie-garden/Howdy) to compile a huge body of knowledge to bridge what he sees as a gap between cultural Proto-Indo-European scholarship and Proto-Indo-European linguistics. The name _The Well of Memory_ is a reference to a mythical location in Norse mythology, _Mímisbrunnr_, where Odin is said to have placed one of his eyes as a sacrifice in order to be able to see into the past. But in any case, I did not know about it when I came up with the name of this site and it seems like a thematically appropriate coincidence that his site is also a "well." ## Omar A. Ashour's _Quantum Tinkering_ UC Berkeley PhD candidate, [Omar A. Ashour](https://omarashour.com/) has published his notes on theoretical condensed matter physics and mathematics [here.](https://ashour.dev/Home) In particular he includes notes on density functional theory (DFT), a method for modeling many-body quantum systems, as well as summaries of research papers and topics related to his research. # Other online resources I take inspiration from ## Jack Schwichtenberg's _Physics Travel Guide_ [Jakob Schwichtenberg's](http://jakobschwichtenberg.com/) [Physics Travel Guide](https://physicstravelguide.com/start) is a wiki where anyone can contribute. He aims to make advanced topics as accessible as possible by formatting each wiki entry in a way that delineates between _intuitive,_ _concrete,_ and _abstract_ explanations in different tabs. He also includes a tab for every entry to explain why a given topic might be interesting. These different approaches to explain a thing are important distinctions to keep in mind whenever explaining a technical topic, especially if it can get weird and abstract, as tends to happen in physics and math. In addition, he includes much more lengthy discussions on topics related to knowledge management and learning on his main website that I recommend reading. ## _Hyperphysics_ and _Hypermath_ [Hyperphysics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/index.html) and [Hypermath](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hmat.html) are some of the oldest online resources that rely heavily on mapping information with atomized notes and they have cemented their legacy for being able to do so effectively for introductory level physics topics. ## Eric Weisstein's _World of Science_ This is a [science encyclopedia](https://scienceworld.wolfram.com/) mostly based on contributions by [Eric Weisstein](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/about/author.html), who sought out, starting in his teen years, to catalog every interesting and useful mathematical property he'd come across. Eventually this morphed into a series of related projects that also include external contributors after Weisstein was hired to work for Wolfram Research. This site places a lot of detailed information on a lot of advanced topics a google search away and is occasionally cited in some of my entries if I happen to find it difficult to find a suitable primary or secondary source in order to check my facts. --- _This is one of several blog-post style pages that's not part of the [indexed notes](Welcome%20to%20The%20Quantum%20Well!.md#Indices) that constitute what I consider to be the core content to this site._
