Hi, everyone

Hi,

I've browsed around these forums for a few days now and decided I'd sign up and contribute the little that I can. My math history is similar to an episode of one of those mid-day talk shows where you find out that the father is actually the uncle of the nephew's son-in-law, twice removed. Actually, what I mean to say is that math and I haven't always been on such clear terms as my name would suggest. It's quite a long and boring history. But to sum it up, I began loving math when it was too late (and by 'too late' I mean too late to go back and re-learn things in school. You know, math is cumulative, and all that jazz). Now I'm a freshmen in college, and my foundation in mathematics isn't exactly solid. Which is partially why I'm here, as well. I've taken to going all the way back, and I mean all the way back, to re-learn the basics.

I should clear something up, however. I've never been terrible at mathematics. But I feel as if I'm only mediocre because of my previous non-chalant study habits concerning math. So, being who I am, I feel it's my duty to learn what I should've learned so long ago. My ultimate goal is to graduate with a degree in mathematics, and to move on to graduate school, where I can obtain my Ph.D. That's far away, and for another day, though. So, hopefully, I can learn some new things here, contribute, make a few new friends, and have fun in the process.

It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils. - Niels Henrik Abel.
