I am a math professor at the University of Puget Sound, a liberal arts college in Tacoma, Washington.
My plan is to use this blog to talk some about my own work, posts that I find interesting on Mathematics Stack Exchange (a math question-and-answer site I regularly hang out on), and whatever else I happen to be thinking about mathematically. My background is in operations research, and my interests tend to lie at the intersection of combinatorics, probability, and optimization, so I suspect most of my posts will involve one or more of these three topics.

Great stuff Mike! Have you ever weighed in on the Monty Hall problem?
Thanks!
On the Monty Hall problem – no, I haven’t written on it. I feel like lots of other people have already done it well. I’ll keep it in mind for a future post anyway, though!
