Fun Facts
I enjoy doing anything strategy/logic oriented. I've spent way too much time studying GTO for poker, I'm 2,000 rated in chess and have hit top ranks in quite a few popular strategy games.
About Me
I'm a "Freshman" (With 90 Credits) at Indiana Bloomington studying Finance & Math. I really like the application side of math and I'm inspired by Jim Simons and his hedge fund. I'll either try to get a Ph.D. after schooling or work under a large trading firm if possible.

Approach
I burned out of math during high school because I couldn't see the purpose of having so much pressure to make USAMO or trying to memorize Calc 4. But during College I discovered many visualizations of problems + how I can use everything I've learned in Quant.
I think math is conceptually easy to understand as long as you understand why you are doing something + should be a subject everyone can enjoy and appreciate.
