Games are a great way to help the public understand abstract principles. Fourth year Bachelor of Science and Engineering student Alexander Tritt did just that and came in runner-up at the 2018 Quantum Games – a nationwide competition hosted by the ARC Centre for Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) to explain the science behind quantum mechanics through computer games.

If they can’t be solved (O-A-O), they’ll have to go and approximate,

Articles about integrals say (A-O-A-O-A-O-A-OOOOOOOOOO),
