I am a second year graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California-Los Angeles. I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2006 with a major in mathematics and a minor in philosophy. Till graduation, I lived in Lincoln all my life except for a year in Settat, Morocco and another year in Uppsala, Sweden.

            Spring 2008, Math 115A

            Winter 2008, Math 31A

            Fall 2007,Math 31A

            Spring 2007, Math 133, Fourier Analysis

            Research:

 

Here is my CV, and a link to info about my past and current research.

 

Here is the AMS MathSciNet website for searching for mathematics publications.

 

            And to help with those obscure abbreviations of journals you’ve never heard of, there is help, and here a list of links to some of these.

 

Another odd yet important research tool: the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. Here you can type in the first so many elements of a sequence of integers and the website will search and see if it is part of a bigger sequence that has been researched (e.g. plug in 1,1,2,3,5,8 and you’ll get the Fibonacci sequence). You’ll thank me later.

 

Educational Sites:

 

Though I consider Wolfram Research to be sort of a cult, their Mathworld website is still a pretty good online encyclopedia of mathematics that I run into frequently when searching on the web, although Wikipedia tends to be more reliable (check out the ones I wrote for the Hardy-Littlewood Maximal function, Khinchine’s inequality, Fatou’s theorem and the Vitali covering lemma, and my edit of Kakeya sets).

 

This is a very interesting index of biographies of many mathematicians throughout history.

 

 Here is a great place to find free texts in mathematics. This is Alexandre Stefanov’s extensive list of links to online mathematics materials all over the web ranging from calculus to von Neumann algebras.

 

Here is a link to a movie showing the eversion of the sphere.
