First-year graduate student at Stanford University. Interests tend to center around differential geometry. For now, I plan on being far more active on math.stackexchange.com

comment Awfully sophisticated proof for simple facts
And here I was thinking the standard proof was just the Integral Test for series convergence.

comment How to respond to “I was never much good at maths at school.”
It's interesting. Pretty much everyone I know would agree that it's not a good thing when elementary school teachers tell their students that they didn't like math, either. And yet I can think of more than a handful of those same people (grad students and professors) who would have no problem telling their calculus classes that they don't like calculus, or that it's not "real" math somehow...

comment “Softness” vs “rigidity” in Geometry
Funny, I would've said that when doing geometry, you either fall into algebra or analysis. In fact, it seems to me that the more "rigid" your geometry is, the more likely you are to fall into one of the sides. By contrast, "softer" geometries can rely on topology.

comment Fundamental motivation for several complex variables
That's fair. In truth, I'm still rather ignorant about harmonic functions and their properties. I don't mean to suggest that reason (1) is the only reason one would care about them, but simply that it's a primary reason that I do (again, given my ignorance).
