About me

This blog is mainly for recording random mathematical thoughts that come to mind which otherwise I would forget the next day. Hence many posts may not be complete, some may only make sense to myself and some may not even make sense to myself. ^^

To find out more about me, please visit my departmental webpage at http://www.math.princeton.edu/~shuyunwu/.

If you have questions/comments/confusions or found mistakes anywhere in this blog and do not want to leave comments here, please e-mail me at conan777@gmail.com.(I check that >10 times a day and will do my best to recall what I was thinking when writing the post)

Recently some people suggested that a math blog has to contain ‘career advices’…Well, I’m in absolutely no position to give any. (in fact, I myself am having tons of trouble finding out how things work >.< I'll let you know if I ever figure that out :-P) However, there are articles by masters in that topic (hand-picked according to my taste):

1. On Proof and Progress in Mathematics — William Thurston

2. Advice to a Young Mathematician — Michael Atiyah, Béla Bollobás, Alain Connes, Dusa McDuff and Peter Sarnak

3. Interview with Mikhail Gromov

Something non-mathematical but inspiring:

A video Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams by Randy Pausch — A dying CS professor in Carnegie Mellon.

Finally, a keyword cloud of stuff on this blog~
