Research

My curriculum vitae is here.

If you're looking for the mathematics research writings, those are all in the Research tab above. This page is dedicated to my writing projects that I do outside of my research. These are meant to be an outlet to let my thoughts out in a productive manner.

Monthly Math-y

The title of this project is in the works, but I like the sound of it right now. In this series of essays, I attempt to explain math ideas in a way that make it understandable for non-math folks. My goal is to help people who want to know what I'm doing in life but do not have the years needed to comprehend the advanced math needed. I hope that it's readable for anyone who is willing to learn.

As of right now and due to my schedule and life events, this project is on hiatus. I hope to come back to it when I have the time! But enjoy this complete year collection.
The * signifies adding the essay for that month at a later date.

Other Writings

I do have passions outside of math, and I tend to talk a lot. Topics that I feel strongly about, enough to write an essay for it.

  1. Success , an essay written for my students and peers. An exploration of how we can be more success in our classes (and life).
