Some notes on reconstruction algorithms and “choosing the right parameter”

Posted on May 4, 2011 by mt4

First, somewhat unrelated, here are some Acrobat Reader shortcuts.  I’m especially excited about Alt + <– and Alt + –> to go backward or forward a “view”.  So for example, in a paper with internal hyperlinks to the citations as … Continue reading →
