Inspiration For This Website

The cover page of this U.S. post colonial text (published in 1797), has this dedication: “Composed for the use of the Citizens of The United States.” Evidently these people truly cared about each other, as people presently should in the U.S. and elsewhere. It is in this spirit that this website is being developed.

What is Here

This website features some of the articles that I wrote. In doing so, I found the following practice useful: Secure papers, along with different versions of them, by backing them up on several cloud platforms, and still keep backups on drives.

Should you copy my work in mathematics, please cite my work and spell my name right. The citation style is up to your choosing. Creative commons licencing applies, from the date of each paper (CC-BY-SA-4.0). Otherwise, literary works are copyrighted from the date of each work.

Simply put, I hope you enjoy this website. I really want to receive any feedback, questions, commentary, or corrections on anything here. Please email me at: ask@ijakowec.info
