Some Research Papers

To do

Notes of various things (the computer related ones are things I work out and then forget a week later):

Algorithms and Online Judges

I enjoy programming contests and related algorithms.

Projects

My current research uses python for data analysis and C & C++ for the underlying evolution code. My Master's research was in Matlab and Fortran, but I use C and C++ for everything else. I also enjoy tinkering around with Python and Scheme. Someday I want to learn Haskell.

Undergraduate Papers

During my undergraduate days I wrote some papers on some various things for class projects. It is not complete as there are a few others I wrote but cannot find. The dates are wrong since I recompiled the tex at some later date.

Other

I am a very big of the Bard. I've seen most of his plays. A list is available here.

I also enjoy playing musical instruments. I currently own:
