Since the acquisition of my company in 2022, I have been focusing on reconnecting with my roots in theoretical physics. My current project involves a systematic course of study in mathematics. I’m beginning with a breadth-first approach, including proof-writing, contest math, and computation; these are my current \( 3 + 1 \) slots:1
Pure Mathematics for Beginners by Steve Warner
How to Prove It by Daniel Velleman
The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2: and Beyond by Rusczyk and Lehoczky
—
Sage for Undergraduates by Gregory Bard
See my blog posts for more, especially Math Learning Project and Resources for Math Learning (Intro to Math).
I have actually now finished all the above slots and am currently taking a short break to write up some posts and catch up on miscellaneous tasks that accumulated during the first phase of my project.
I am also active as an investor and advisor to several startups and other projects, especially those related to AI, Urbit, and Bitcoin. I currently live in Los Angeles, CA (Santa Monica near Venice Beach).
