Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. It is an important concept in critical thinking.

Derivatives and integrals. The fundamental theorem of calculus connects differentiation and integration, showing they are inverse operations.

Studied Big O notation. O(n), O(n log n), O(n^2) are common time complexities. Merge sort is O(n log n). Quick sort is also O(n log n) on average, but its worst case is O(n^2).

Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues. Hash tables are very efficient for lookups, insertions, and deletions with an average time complexity of O(1).

Vectors, matrices, and linear transformations. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are important concepts for understanding the properties of linear transformations.

F = ma. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These are Newtons second and third laws of motion, respectively.

The fall of the Western Roman Empire is dated to 476 AD. Many factors contributed to its decline, including political instability, economic troubles, and barbarian invasions.

Explored themes of ambition and guilt in Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is a complex character who drives much of the initial action but is later consumed by guilt.
