Welcome to my homepage! I am a high schooler interested in math, physics, and cs. I especially love math and want to take pure math as my major in college.
My favorite areas of math are geometry and number theory. Besides math. I also like:
- listening to J-POP, C-POP, rnb and diverse music
- playing random songs I have heard on the piano by my weak relative pitch
never perfect :pensive: - playing badminton
- trying to livetex math lecture notes
I started learning competitional math from a young age even though I didn't really enjoy math at that time.
However, my true love for math which is activated by my math teacher, began to arouse since grade 8.
I previously planned to take domestic high school, but government's attitude towards events (i.e. COVID-19, 徐州铁链女事件 Xuzhou Chained Woman Incident) changed my plan and influenced my life.
Therefore, I started studying in international high school learning IB.
I participated in the (amazing) Ross Mathematics Program in 2023 as a first year in Indiana site, furtherly strengthening my idea of taking math as my major. Some of my favorite moments in Ross includes:
- doing problem sets until it is 2am,
- playing exploding kitten with friends in Percopo 002,
- 5K run (even though I didn't finish it, my heart was beating so quickly),
- late night playing Mafia with all devices died during power outage,
- basement karaoke at 5am,
- knocking on friend's dorm door after lecture (bro you missed class!).
In the summer of 2024, I came back to Ross as a junior counselor of family 43. The experience was no doubt amazing! And sadly, I became the one whose door often got smashed by family members because I overslept. Everyone should apply to Ross (especially Indiana site). [See my reflections to Ross '23 and '24]
Besides my above interests, I am always attracted by fancy little cool stuffs like $\LaTeX$, typst, asymptote, manim, tikz... I am also interested in, as you can see, html and css.
By the way, my favorite formula is Euler's Identity, a special case of Euler's Formula $e^{i\theta}=\cos\theta + i\sin\theta$: \[e^{i\pi}+1=0\]
My Ambitious Dreams
I have a dream, that I can read through all the UTM and GTM series.
UTMs that I finished reading
- Rational Points on Elliptic Curves - John Tate and Joseph H. Silverman
- Linear Algebra Done Right - Sheldon Axler
GTMs that I finished reading
- A Course in Number Theory and Cryptography - Neal Koblitz
I am currently reading
- A Conversational Introduction to Algebraic Number Theory: Arithmetic Beyond $\mathbb{Z}$ - Paul Pollack
An Introduction to Knot Theory
I took an interesting GTM Book Test showing that if I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be ... | W.B.R. Lickorish's An Introduction to Knot Theory. I am an introduction to mathematical Knot Theory; the theory of knots and links of simple closed curves in three-dimensional space. I consist of a selection of topics which graduate students have found to be a successful introduction to the field. Three distinct techniques are employed; Geometric Topology Manoeuvres, Combinatorics, and Algebraic Topology. |
