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.
