About Me
I am interested in noticing patterns in everyday life. I find pure mathematics to be highly pattern-oriented, and strongly believe that applying a similar problem-solving approach and abstract mindset will solve real-world problems. I am highly interested in algebra, notably group, Galois, and representation theory, and algebraic number theory.

My Mentor
Much of my life path and decisions have been guided by my late mentor, Jyrki Koivisto.
Books
By popular demand, I've added a list of books that I've enjoyed here to my site. For now, they are all mathematics textbooks.

My discrete mathematics office hours for Fall 2024 will be Fridays 11:15-12:15 @ UA 3060. Real analysis students can drop into these office hours or may email me directly.Buy Me a Coffee
The educational resources I create on my website, TikTok, and other open spaces do not earn me any income. I am strongly against charging struggling students for a fee, it simply goes against my whole being. I encourage you to access all of my corpus of content for free. If you wish to support me in creating these resources, you can buy me a coffee. Do not support me financially if you do not have the financial stability to do so. Most people using my website are students, whose finances may be unstable. There is no expectation of support. If you are a current student who chooses to buy me a coffee, I kindly ask that you keep yourself anonymous.
Axioms of Federico Ardila
I find these axioms of Prof. Federico Ardila to be incredibly useful and accurate in my pedagogy:
- Mathematical potential is equally present in different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic and economic boundaries.
- Everyone can have joyful, meaningful and empowering mathematical experiences.
- Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
- Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
