I am an at-home mathematician, who is very fond of the Duodecimal system (base 12). I enjoy finding patterns in numbers, especially in base 12. Some of my greatest achievements as a mathematician so far are:

I created a simpler version of the Pythagorean Theorem twice,

I created a new kind of notation,

I justified why numbers have certain patterns in differing bases, for instance, why does 9*5 = 45? and if 9*5 = 45, then 9/2 MUST equal 4.5,

and I created formula's for: sums of n + all whole positive integers<n,

                           and  sums of n + all whole positive integers<n, with alternating signs for instance 5-4+3-2+1
