Just tryna do more math

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

It’s been nice to explore other subjects again. I’ll miss mathematics and maybe I’ll return.

Or maybe…just maybe…I’ll find something else to do *gasp* (but ofc there’s going to be math involved)

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Given where I come from I still never thought I could do mathematics at the level I was doing it. I never thought I would be able to get a degree in it (let alone 3). I’m pretty grateful for that.

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Wasn’t able to complete my PhD at Clemson. (I graduated with another masters instead last December). Couldn’t pass my Analysis Prelim/Qual. Probably too much stress from cancer and doing math at that level…..kind of a tough combo…but idk I did the best I could.

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@JSEllenberg Thanks so much for that Jordan means a lot! :)

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Been gone for a minute. Still working on math. Semester winding down among other things. I was diagnosed with a mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma earlier this year. Happy to say I am reaching the end of my treatment plan. (Last round of chemo today...finally!).

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@FedericoArdila Thank you Federico, I really appreciate it!

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

3 Great Authors, 3 Great Mathematicians, and I'm sure this means 3 great books in front me...I have no idea how I'm going to get through this all...I guess..slowly? 😅 @JSEllenberg @stevenstrogatz @mathyawp #math

In case you didn't know, I got my PhD from MIT math (!) and I'm now a member at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton NJ. I've only been here two weeks, but I love it already. They did a little profile of myself and three other scholars: https://t.co/Kl99kq31CH

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@JohnCUrschel Congrats John big inspiration!

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@LadyyShontel lmao basically

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@I_love_ya_ABS_ Don't fret...they hate everyone lol

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Nice to know the Bucks got the W last night!

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@LadyyShontel @_AreUDone_ hehe I ain't think I really counted thank you my daughter! :D

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@_sjt13 yea

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Wondering if the case wasn't as high profiled as it was would we have seen the same verdict.

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@RicardoRangel__ Don't remember the last time I played it's been years frfr lol

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@PeterKagey @math3ma Hey Peter that actually would be great thanks!

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Been thinking about starting a math blog. Inspired by Terry's blog as well as @math3ma. I think it would be a good study tool...not to mention that I can contribute to trying to bring math to wider audience..just gotta figure out how make it happen lol.

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@LadyyShontel I'm probably going to be that friend no cap lol

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

@MEulea sure y not

[Rodrigo Σmith @TheAs2UtEOne]

Trying think of ways to bring math into pop-culture. It seems as the physicist, biologist, chemists, amongst others can do it easily, Cosmos or Planet Earth. We could use a mathematical version of those shows.
