Interests
I am very
interested in science and read Scientific
American and Science
News on a routine basis. I like trying out new ideas and thinking about
new theories related to math and science. One of my favorite books to teach is Sphereland by Dionys
Burger, which is a story written to challenge our thinking about the universe.
