I want to highlight an outstanding black mathematician William S. Claytor, PhD. He is someone would have greatly benefitted from consistent support from the mathematical community (and its professional societies) as he navigated his career as a researcher.

Preparing for my lectures tomorrow!. In class 1 we’re focusing on Principal Component Analysis and finding these components by diagonalizing the covariance matrix. In class 2 we’re focusing on linear sum assignment and will be introducing the Hungarian algorithm. Fun times!.

I’m super excited about my teaching assignments this Fall after having a few years off due to fellowship. One course I’m jazzed about is Introduction to High Dimensional Data Analysis!. Has anyone out there taught something similar?.

It finally happened. I used an equation editor (outside of LaTeX today) in a google doc. I’ve looked out my window several times and it appears the world is still going on….

I'm leading an undergraduate team as part of a campus data science program this summer. I want them to leave with some project management skills. For those of you working in the 'real world,' how do you structure (bi)weekly reports for the projects you work on?.
