I'm pretty sure I have at least two high school students in India interested in math following me so here's your reminder to apply to PROMYS India! I think it's open to students from other countries as well (although if you're in the US or Europe, the Boston and Oxford locations will probably be more convenient for you). I think PROMYS India is giving all accepted students full scholarships and this is their first summer running after several years of COVID delays.

I worked at PROMYS Boston the past four years alongside the people in this photo who are dear friends and delightful colleagues and likely the counselors students will have at PROMYS India.

(High school students in general should consider applying to PROMYS in Boston and Oxford as well, and the similar Ross program which is expecting programs this summer in Ohio, Indiana, and the Philippines.)

If wherefore means why, what does y_4 mean?

I mean, on the flip side of my disastrous grad school news from yesterday, I also officially am going to be a counselor at PROMYS in Boston this summer and I'm hella excited. So like. Some things are okay I guess. Some things are good even.

I don’t think I’m that weird

Conversation in a math department:

A:”X might be a PROMYS person: they are pretty strange”

Me: “Most of us are capable of seeming perfectly normal!”

A: “To you maybe”

I’m starting to think my mom was just lying to me about my being normal. What’s odd is I don’t have any perception of my acting weirdly, at least by math standards.

You probably all know the the webcomic xkcd. Well, there's an xkcd comic called 'Nerd Sniping,' where you give a mathematician an interesting problem to think about and they wander into traffic and get hit by a car. We don't want to be responsible for that! So please be careful when you're crossing Comm Ave. Also, tonight at 7 in this room we'll be proving 0*a=0; attendance is mandatory for first-years.

In the PROMYS counselor e-mail list we've been asked to name our interests, and so far four people have said 'philosophy.'

The Brown facebook group is half "protests in Brazil!" and half "so does anyone know Sanskrit?"

I am Generally Optimistic about the people with whom I will be spending the future.
