Who writes here

I'm a master's student in mathematics, currently working on jump detection in high-frequency financial data using extreme value theory.

This blog is a place to write about mathematical ideas the way I actually think about them — starting from intuition and geometric pictures, with the formalism coming in to confirm and sharpen rather than to replace. I find that most math writing either strips out the intuition entirely (theorem-proof-corollary) or stays so informal it doesn't actually say anything precise. I'm trying for something in between.

Posts include interactive Python environments so you can run and modify the computations yourself. Nothing here requires trusting me — you can check everything.
