My favorite part of being a mathematician is being able to share with others. I started this site several lifetimes ago and I no longer know what is going on.

“My view of mathematics is that it is an absolute mess which actively pushes out the sort of people who might make it better. I have no patience for genius pretenders. I want to empower the people.” –me, several lifetimes ago but still true. 

My first big endeavor to improve mathematics was my PhD thesis, which I’m sharing here. Since then, I have been employed as a postdoc and a teacher and my attempts to improve mathematics was soundly rejected by the powers that be.

Now what?
