Self-taught, professional computer programmer since Nov. 2010. Self-taught lover of the discrete mathematics. I makeada software go f a s t. Chronically ignorant. Student of Thomistic philosophy.

Current recreational pursuits (in no particular order): 1. A closed-form for complex-valued Gamma(x + iy) because generalized binomial coefficients and Mie scattering ftw ("for the win" for the ancients among us) (in progress). 2. An optimal division algorithm for binary computers (in progress). 3. Discrete variations of real and complex-valued functions, e.g. logarithm of modular residues, generally solving discrete equations with real-valued functions, etc. (not started). 4. The next mathematical pursuit of the discrete variety. (search in progress)

You need X to compute X. (Universally reflexive principle. Consequently, X's form [actus] can exist with any matter [potentia], in this case, algebraic matter.)

Born in May 2000. Truly a shame that other fellow academics of my age (presuming they exist in any number) fail to find appreciation for spiritual and intellectual activities like mathematics on account of the failures of our public "education" systems. Apparently, they'd rather find small-minded pleasures, usually in a bar or bedroom.
