About us
Three geeks were friends at Community High School.
They knew computers and they loved math.
One had an interesting idea, and before they knew it, a blog was born.
And what was this marvelous new idea?
To make math fun again!
So often math is seen as something cut-and-dried, something flat, dull, boring. Or something difficult, mysterious, transcendental. So often it is left to nerds like us.
But it need not be this way! Join us, and see the light of quantitative logic! Taste the elegant subtlety of mathematics and explore its depths! See that it is the most creative of fields, a place where reason and imagination reign supreme and the foolish limitations of this corporeal realm are left behind.
Our staff currently includes five people:
Noam Samuel
A nice, though sometimes slightly hyperactive fifteen-year old, Noam has been known to take care of many of the technical aspects of writing this website. He often likes to mess around with combinatorics and numerical system, but has fun with sets and logic too.
Patrick N. R. Julius
Known to be one of the few biologically-verified ubergeeks, Patrick can easily say stuff that would pass way over anyone’s head. Thankfully, though, he is also a very good writer, and if you don’t get what he’s talking about at the start, most chances are you will by the end.
Hallie Morris
A daughter of two mathematicians, Hallie is slightly on the OCD side, and will often obsess over small insignificant things. She also has a slightly annoying tendency to detract many conversations from their subject and onto math.
Matt Hampel
Though all will recognize him as the main guy on communityhigh.org and the harbinger of The Communicator’s leap into the twenty-first century, it is a little known fact that Matt is trained in the arts of the samurai webmaster.
Bella Decker
The daughter of a “mad scientist” and an equally mad aerobics instructor, Bella likes books, Latin, playing the piano, reciting poetry, bicycling, and crocheting scarves for anyone who will consent to be seen in public with them. (And math, too.) She will probably publish articles about mathematical history, calculus, and subjects that the biographer is not aware of (neither is the author, at this point.)
Let us show you. Let the Math Underground be your place of comfort in these dark times, when algebra is feared and calculus despised. Let us be your home for mathematical musings and sudden insights.
Embrace the mathematical harmony of the universe, ponder its wonders.
(And hopefully have a good time while you’re at it).
