I'm Jacob Roberts, I'm a senior at Marlboro College, and this is the culmination of an academic year's worth of work.

To install the project, follow the instructions I give on the wiki.

At Marlboro College, seniors devote most of their year to a plan of concentration, which is comparable to a graduate thesis. The work on this repository accounts for 60% of my total plan grade, with the remaining 40% coming from other academic endeavors.
