This is a thread for ResetERA's math teachers/researchers/students to hang out and talk about their favorite subject. Discuss what you're working on, anecdotes from teaching, ask (anyone but me) for career advice, etc. This is decidedly not the math help thread, which is over here.
Introduce yourself when you post! I'm a lecturer in the southeast US. The only thing I teach regularly is discrete math. In my spare time, I'm trying to read Williams' Probability With Martingales. (It's difficult because I didn't get a lot of analysis in grad school, and Williams doesn't explain many steps...)
If you need to discuss something technical with another poster, http://mathb.in is about as close to inline LaTeX as we will ever get.
(If you don't know, the title is a reference to the conclusion that the sum of all the positive integers is -1/12 by treating infinite sums as though they are finite.)
