Mathematics

Although I was a pure math major in the U(M) Math Department, I generally prefer to consider myself an amateur mathematician in the original sense of the word – I do it for the love of the subject.

Some U(M) math related content in the form of my diorama of the Nesbitt Commons in East Hall can be found here. I made it for a mid-semester Math 498 project, when we were told we could present “any way we wanted,” I thought a diorama would be fun.

As a pure mathematics major, I’ve taken some neat coursework: – Math 156, honors applied calculus II (F2017) – Math 285, honors multivariable calculus (W2018) – Math 217, proof-based linear algebra (F2018) – Math 465, introduction to combinatorics (and graph theory (W2019) – Math 316, differential equations (W2019) – Math 412, modern algebra (introduction to ring and group theory) (F2019) – Math 451, advanced calculus I (introduction to real analysis)(W2020) – Math 490, introduction to topology (F2020) – Math 481, introduction to mathematical logic(F2020) – Math 475, introduction to number theory (W2021) – Math 498, special topics: representation theory of finite and compact groups (W2021)

I have also learned some cool things in my time, which I enjoy passing on to people I tutor and anyone else who is willing to listen.

This hexagonal mnemonic in particular is something I learned during my freshman year in Honors Applied Calculus II. I love it as a method to recall trig identities quickly
