Abstract
Structural optimization is a useful and interesting tool. Unfortunately, it can be hard for new researchers to get started on the topic because existing tutorials assume the reader has substantial domain knowledge. They obscure the fact that structural optimization is really quite simple, elegant, and easy to implement. With that in mind, let's write our own structural optimization code, from scratch, in 180 lines.
