About the blog
This is a blog that I hope to be able to keep consistently. I plan to use it largely to be a way of reflecting on cool math / cs stuff that I am learning in classes in school, in doing random research, and in discussions with friends. I also plan to share a little bit of thoughts behind the process behind these things e.g. process of understanding a certain result or doing some research. I enjoy sharing what I learn, and find that I learn a lot by sharing. Sometimes when I'm swamped with work and stumped by various problems its easy to forget how cool and beautiful math is. I hope that this blog can serve as a reminder that math is awesome! Don't forget.
