About Me
I want to study representation theory for the naïve reason that it sounds misleading to a non-math audience. My hobbies include eating and gaming. I am particularly fond of Super Smash Bros Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube and the McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder (with Cheese). Scientists who mock my theories will be forced to recant.
