“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.”
This past Saturday, I hit the submit button on all my applications for Ph.D. programs in mathematics. I ended up applying to five schools, which was narrowed down from the 10 or so schools I had on the shortlist for much of the fall semester.
On the evening of Saturday, November 12, various members of the Stevens community gathered at the Plaza Hotel in New York City for the 2022 Stevens Awards Gala.
One of the difficult aspects of mathematics is that it often scales poorly with the complexity of the problem. Math is great when there are relatively few variables and nice functions (for instance, continuous and differentiable functions) involved.
The middle of October to the middle of November has always been the busiest time of the fall semester for me.
With the 2022 midterms being held on Tuesday, I wanted to write an article connecting mathematics to election modeling. What first came to mind was the statistics of polls and how predictions on election outcomes are made prior to the actual counting of the votes.
Yesterday will have marked my first time performing in an in-person Stevens Dramatic Society (SDS) show since my first year. It’s been a wild ride in between, with several virtual productions, and work last year as President and Producer for SDS.
Trick-or-treating was my favorite part of Halloween growing up. I loved to walk around, see other people’s costumes, and collect a hearty stock of candy to eat over the next few months.
