I'm a 24 year old student, pursuing my Ph.D. in Mathematics. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) in 2006 with my BA in Math, and I've continued on to the Ph.D. program there at UCSC.

I have a very broad range of interests, but I focus mainly on Mathematics and Finance.

I have been writing blogs for a little over a year, and only lately have decided to get more serious about it. I am excited about the opportunities Helium presents, and I hope to contribute in a significant way.

Mathematics

My childhood ambition ...
