Other ventures
Here I describe some of my past and present work related to math, but not related to my YouTube channel.
Because Mathemaniac isn’t just about the YouTube channel. It is only the main way of sharing my passion of love of math with others. There can be many other ways to do so.
Quora
I used to be on Quora, which is a question-and-answer forum for anything. It is similar to Yahoo answers, but of higher quality where professors with actual credentials are on there to answer questions.
Due to the more spammy questions introduced, I stopped contributing to answers on Quora, and focused on YouTube instead. This was just another way of sharing my passion of math with others.
Another website
Back when I was in Grade 7, I made this website out of boredom. It was one of the projects that, again, is a way of demonstrating my passion for sharing the love of math to others.
It was only half-finished, but I already lost the files and could not maintain the site anymore. It might be nice to see how far I’ve come.
Academic stuff
In the summer of 2022, I followed Professor Enrico Pajer for a summer research project, which is on the topic of cosmological bootstrap: the idea of using minimal assumptions, like causality, homogeneity, and isotropy, to predict cosmological observables like correlators. I verified the calculations in Enrico’s paper, and learned a lot about QFT and cosmology as a result.
In my first year, I also wrote a Eureka article on Catalan numbers. Eureka is a bi-yearly (disrupted by COVID) publication by the Archimedeans, the largest student math society at Cambridge.
Recently, for my fourth-year degree, I need to produce an essay, and I chose the topic to be on preheating, the period right after cosmic inflation, but before Big Bang.
