I LIKE PANDAS

        I am Mo Lam, a first year math major (MAT + AMS double major) in Stony Brook University. I am in the University Scholar program. I like pandas because they are pandas (circular reasoning).
        I am a student coach in NYC math team, former captain (2010') of the NYC math team: Steven Colbert team (aka A team), and 2 times USA Math Olympiad qualifier.
        I like web design (especially database design) and archery. I may minor in Information System (the only reason that I have not decided is the fact that Java classes are mandated for Information System minor and I dislike Java due to its speed).
        People often ask me for real life application of the math research I do, and most of them fail to realize that I am just doing it for the sack of it. My goal is not to find real life application, but to do it because it is cool. I do not care if there are any real life applications with math. I will leave that to the applied math people.
