I am a 5-th year grad student in GaTech. Working with Prof John Etnyre. Next I will be moving to Princeton University. Interested in Low-dimensional Topology . I am very much against Down-voting any Question or Answer unless it is a spam (if one doesn`t like something, they should make a helpful comment). I enjoy trying to rethink basic facts that I learned some time ago, and attempting to express them in clear terms. Typically when I learned things from textbooks and classes, they seemed technical and complicated. Unless I go over and rethink them, my memory gradually decays, making unjustified simplifications and unfeasible shortcuts. I gain something by trying to rethink and express it, trying not to resort too much to citing authorities or my intangible belief system of what is well-known. - ***William Thurston*** ©
