A seventh chord in music theory is plainly a triad with the addition of the “7th interval” above the triad’s root. For example, the combination C, E, G, B is a seventh chord.

Scales in music theory are not just bounded by Major vs Minor distinctions. It turns out that all scales can be represented via modes. Modes are just another way of producing a certain tone/mood commonly associated with a happy (Major) or melancholic (Minor) sound.

Intro Last year I wrote a post on three computer science classes I recommended taking at UC Davis. I thought it would be a good idea for me to do the same for my major, Economics.

Motivation Growing up, I always found it hard to memorize key signatures of keys I wasn’t familiar with. This especially held true for minor keys since I did not play much minor pieces as a starting Classical pianist.

Intro The first coding class I took at UC Davis was ECS 10. This was also the first time I tried programming. I remember that when I recieved the first homework assignment, I thought: “Oh, this isn’t so bad.

I finally found the perfect theme to make my portfolio in! If you’re curious, it’s the site that you’re on right now! I’m using Academic, a HUGO theme made by George Cushen (and other contributors), to run my site.
