User:Jacob Gagnon

The account of this former contributor was not re-activated after the server upgrade of March 2022. I am a 3rd year graduate student at UMASS Amherst working on a PhD in Applied Mathematics. I have a M.S. in Mathematics from UMASS, a B.S. in Physics from MIT, and a B.S. in Mathematics from MIT. My research interests are numerical methods, statistical physics, and measure-theoretic probability.
