About

• I go by “young”, like the opposite of old. I grew up in Colorado before studying math at Reed College in Portland, Oregon and at UC Santa Cruz. During my undergraduate studies, I participated in the Budapest Semesters in Math and in the Math in Moscow programs.
• I taught high school math in northern California and at the Art of Problem Solving. You can find some notes I've written here.
• Outside of math, I enjoy playing soccer and doing taekwondo.
• I also tutor math at most levels; please email with inquiries.

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Saunders Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician. I provide an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from foundations, I illuminate the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. I then turn to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representation of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits.
