Some updates

Apologies for not updating in awhile; MIT has, as usual, been quite busy. But I will hopefully have lots to talk about very soon. Anyway, some bullet points:
- Within the next two weeks I plan on moving this blog to Wordpress. Among other things, it'll look nicer and a little more professional and should be a lot easier to manage. Once I do so, I've got several posts waiting to be finished, so expect several updates during spring break.
- I've finally started work on my UROP. The motivation for the project is a little involved, but the project itself involves studying a sequence of ideals
in a polynomial ring over
variables invariant under a finite group
of symplectic matrices of size
in a particular way. So far we're still trying to reproduce, using MAGMA, certain computations done by Eric Rains at Caltech. Once we've verified that the code we have works, we'll move on to some other computations and hopefully get enough evidence for a conjecture of some kind.
- WOOT has kindly asked me to write a handout for the class. It'll be on generating functions, and I think it'll be a good opportunity to collect together a lot of example solutions. This, hopefully, will also be done within the next two weeks.
- MIT's Campus Preview Weekend is coming up! If you are visiting, feel free to PM me any questions you might have, and if you'd like to find me to discuss math or anything else, just let me know!
