I could blame my thesis. It was going to be "Several Canonical Results in Harmonic Analysis, Exotified" - basically I was going to substitute some trippy wavelet-like objects and some trippy alternative maximal functions into some important inequalities and see if I could still prove them. But, my thesis proposal got rejected. My committee said ( Read more... )

I got interviewed (again) by the ever-awesome mmailliw1) What is your *current* attitude towards mathematics ( Read more... )

8 = 8
1+6= 7
2+4= 6
3+2= 5
4+0= 4

4+8= 12
5+6= 11
6+4= 10
7+2= 9
8+0= 8

8+8= 16
9+6= 15
10+4=14
11+2=13
12+0=12

12+8=20

etc.

Ksenia has legs and a general body frame that are far too large to be normally associated with professional dance success, yet she is a successful professional dancer. If she can get to Blackpool and the Asian Open at her size, I should be able to at least make a semifinal in a collegiate competition at about 150% of her size ( Read more... )

I discovered that it costs money to change my username. So I'm still Mathgirl on lj. Oh well, could be worse. I could be trying to change my name from Vapid Sparkly-Miniskirt-Wearing Political Science Rhinocerous to Nerdtastic Black-Cargo-Pants-Wearing Mathematical Red-Eyed Tree Frog ( Read more... )

And that's all I have to say about that.

(I'll write about more math when I think about more math. Currently my health is as bad as it was my junior year of high school, so it may be awhile. I apologize for being a negligent livejournaler.)

I'm thinking it's time to stop calling myself Mathgirl. Change my username, Facebook, everything. Lately it's been like "Who are you trying to convince ( Read more... )
