Brain-Fried

Well, quals are over for now. The analysis exam was 2:00-6:00PM on Monday and algebra was 2:00-6:00PM yesterday. I think I may not have failed them. I felt better about analysis than I thought I would, and worse about algebra than I thought I would (but only because I had higher expectations for algebra than […]

A Day in Our Office

I was playing with Boinx iStopMotion the other day (which I got as part of the MacHeist 2 software bundle), and this was the result…. Notice how hard we work:

Thesis defense

Well, I defended my thesis today. It went well. I spoke for about fifty minutes to most of the math faculty and a wonderful turnout of friends. After the non-committee members left, I took a few questions from my committee, left the room, and they talked for a few minutes. Then […]

Pipestone High School defeats Albany 50-49

So, I haven’t seen any recaps posted on the web yet, and we don’t get any Minnesota High School Basketball Tournament games here in Vermillion, but I hear it was exciting. 50-49, but no overtime. However, my brother was at the game, and sent me a text message saying that Steph Kocourek made a 3-pointer […]
