Hey. So a large part of my life has been centered around being involved in the Math community and I'm curious to see how far that extends into Smogon.
On the pure math side I'm interested in the Algebra side of things, particularly Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. On the applied side I'm getting into Game Theory and Machine Learning in my spare time and I'm enjoying it.
I've also gotten really involved in the community at large, more important than just talking about our research interests I figure we could use this thread to talk about the lighter side of things. For instance I worked at MoMath: the Museum of Mathematics as it was under construction in New York, running exhibits and doing office work. I tutor and teach, and some of my most rewarding experiences have been working at MathPath and Epsilon Camp with gifted kids. I've had a hand in running lectures and giving them and I ran the Math Club at University. Finally I've been around the block as far as math competitions are concerned, I've done lots of High School competition and the Putnam Exam in college and organized successful high school tournaments.
So here are some questions to get the ball rolling.
If you're involved in research math, teaching, or a math related field, what kind of stuff are you interested in?
Have you seen a lecture, a Youtube video, or read something cool in passing? Don't be afraid to share it or talk about what you want even if you aren't serious about math.
Do you like math competitions or even commonly studied games like Chess or Go?
Are you learning math and not sure about what to expect or struggling with something? Feel free to ask any questions of your own!
The Serious Tag isn't on this thread for a reason. Math is amazing but overwhelmingly seen as not very relatable. Feel free to contribute anything, there's no judgement here.
