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 check that the spelling
of my name is correct. 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.
