B&D Companion Notebooks

Interactive Pluto notebooks following Boxes and Diamonds (Zach 2025). Each notebook makes the textbook's definitions and exercises live — modify a formula or model and see all results update immediately. Use Binder to run them interactively, or browse the static versions below.
