Summer Work

So most of you guys don't know what doing this summer in any specific detail, so I figured that's a moderately interesting thing to explain. I'm doing math research, specifically in the area of Graph Pebbling, which is a sub-field of Graph Theory.

My current goal is to prove that the graphs produced by a certain construction are Class 0, or that the pebbling number of the graph (see the wikipedia link) is equal to the number of vertices of the graph. Here is one graph produced by said construction:
Anyway, that's a taste of what my summer is like.

My Blog

Although I don't like switching blogs or making new ones, I cannot access wordpress.com from China, and have thus switched to blogger. Also, with so many people abroad having blogs, I wanted to join in the club. Unfortunately, however, I am still at Midd, as you can see from my title, so hopefully this can serve as a venue for all those abroad to keep up with things on campus, and my friends at home to see what my life at Midd is like. I'll really try to update this pretty regularly, and not only when I don't have homework. Real writing this time.

Hope all of you who are not around are having blasts wherever you are.
