Computer Science
advancedRendering as an Integral
Before you can differentiate a renderer you have to see it as mathematics: the rendering equation, why it has no closed-form solution, and how Monte Carlo path tracing turns light transport into an estimation problem.

advancedMonte Carlo, TD, and Q-Learning
Leave the model behind. Monte Carlo methods wait for a full episode to update; TD methods bootstrap from the very next step. See exactly where SARSA and Q-learning diverge on the on-policy/off-policy axis, and why that single difference changes everything about convergence guarantees.
