From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, welcome to my user page!

My interests

[edit]

I want to improve:

  • the coverage of mathematicians from underrepresented groups and countries
  • mathematics articles (especially on differential equations)
  • much more!

Currently participating in Women in Africa contest.

I would particularly like to improve the article on Clarence Stephens. He was the 9th African-American to earn a PhD, and had a very interesting and impactful educational philosophy.
